The story of Joseph and Aseneth is a fascinating expansion of the
narrative in Genesis of Joseph in Egypt, and in particular, of his
marriage to the daughter of an Egyptian priest. This study examines
the portrayal of Aseneth's transformation in the text, focusing on
three perspectives. How did Aseneth's encounter with Joseph and her
subsequent transformation affect various aspects of her identity in
the narrative? In what ways do the portrayals of Aseneth, her
transformation, and her abode relate to select metaphors and other
symbolic features depicted in the Septuagint, the Hebrew Bible, and
the Pseudepigrapha? And, how do the ritualized components through
which Aseneth's transformation occurred function in the narrative,
and why are they perceived as effective? In order to shed light on
these facets of Joseph and Aseneth, the author draws on the
contemporary approaches of intersectionality, conceptual blending,
intertextual blending, and the cognitive theory of rituals, using
these theoretical frameworks to explore and illuminate the
complexity of Aseneth's transformation.
