Joseph and Aseneth alternatively spelled Asenath is an ancient Apocrypha apocryphal expansion of the Book of Genesis s account of the patriarch Joseph Hebrew Bible Joseph s marriage to Aseneth . According to Genesis 41 45, Pharaoh gives Aseneth, the daughter of Potiphar Potipherah Pentephres in the Septuagint priest of Heliopolis ancient On to Joseph as a wife. Genesis 41 50 52 narrates that Aseneth bore Joseph two sons Manasseh tribal patriarch Manasseh and Ephraim . No more is said of her. Like many narratives in Genesis, the biblical story is tantalizingly brief, and raises questions that were to fascinate later interpreters. Why would an upstanding descendant of Jacob Israel marry the daughter of a pagan priest, and how could it be justifiable? How could two of the eponymous tribes be descended from union with an outsider, otherwise prohibited by Mosaic law the Mosaic Law ? The story of Joseph and Aseneth sets out to answer some of those questions. The twenty nine chapters of Joseph and Aseneth narrate the conversion of Aseneth, from idolatry to monotheism and the worship of Adonai . Aseneth, a virgin who has rejected numerous worthy suitors, falls in love with Joseph when he, as vizier of Egypt, visits her father. Joseph, however, rejects her as an unworthy idol worshipper. Aseneth then secludes herself in her tower, repents of her idolatry, confesses her sin, and embraces Joseph s God. Begging for freedom from the devil, she then receives an angelic visitor looking like Joseph , who assures her that her prayers are answered and that she is now a new creation. There follows a strange and extended ritual, where in order to confer on her immortality, the angel shares with Aseneth a magical honeycomb, and is told of her heavenly counterpart Metanoia Repentance . The honeycomb, which the angel marks with a cross, causes a swarm of bee s to surround her, and some return ...

Gault was instrumental in reorganizing and revitalizing Rubbermaid into a streamlined and efficient multinational corporation. He embarked on a dual plan of divestiture and strategic investment that generated a 4 fold increase in revenues and a 6 fold increase in profitability. While he stripped weak product lines and slashed excess cost, he invested in new product development. At one point, Rubbermaid turned out more than one product a day. He was heralded as a business genius in the 1980s for his transformation of Rubbermaid. However, his leadership has since been criticized because Gault s successor was less than adequate and Rubbermaid ended up being bought in 1999 by a competitor, Newell. http www.jimcollins.com lib goodToGreat ch2 p25.html In 1994 he was inducted into Junior Achievement s U.S. Business Hall of Fame.
