Asenath

  

In Genesis 41:45, Asenath, wife of Joseph, signifies truth of good united to good of truth. (Arcana Coelestia 5332)

"And gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphar the priest of On for a woman" (Genesis 41:45)

This marriage represents the union of truth with good and of good with truth as seen in the signification of 'giving for a woman'; the reason why it is the marriage of good with truth and of truth with good is, because no other is meant by marriages in the spiritual sense, and hence no other by marriages in the Word. The daughter of the priest of On signifies the truth of good because daughter is the affection of truth and priest is good.
