Is this really a stub? I'm not sure how much more can be said on the subject. Quadell 13:13, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)

Maybe there could have been more references in the scriptures, but I only recall Asenath from the Book of Genesis. Since I'm not sure, declaring the page a stub was a conservative edit decision on my part. Gilgamesh 21:42, April 29, 2004 (UTC)

Er, isn't the kamatz a kamatz katan? Isn't it Osenath? —msh210 18:20, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is a kamatz katan and what's more, the shva is a shva nach, so it should be Osnath. Efhábé (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asenath, in Yiddish the same name as Asne?[edit]

My Jewish name is Asne, from my great grandmother who lived in Lithuania. Her children came to Norway, Trondheim around 1880-1890. After her death at least three of her granddaughters were named Asne after her. My mother moved to Stockholm , Sweden when she married my father. When I was born I was named Asne after the first Asne in the family. I am the only one in my generation with this name. Is Asenath and Asne the same name? When I got married, the Rabbi asked for my Jewish name. He said that Asnat or Osnat bat Potifar was the only one to consider, but she was not Jewish, so I must be mistaken. But now I read here that this woman converted into Judaism! The reason why I ask is that the Rabbi rejected my name Asne as my Jewish name when I was getting married. He decided to call me Hanna, that he found close to my official name Anneli. I have been married since 1957. Do I have to be berried as Hanna? I am Asne!

I would like to know if there are other Asnes or Asenaths around.

" Modern scholarship says her name derives from the Egyptian 'holy to Anath' "[edit]

Someone please provide a scholarly citation for this important etymological / philological assertion !! See also the article "Anath" which makes the same assertion.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Setmose (talkcontribs) 16:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC) joseph Charles fissell juniors wife return to him.[reply]

Matriarch?[edit]

Is she considered one of the Biblical matriarchs? I see the article categorized as such. Goustien (talk) 01:04, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
