se-nath (5 1 l) "dedicated to Neith," and daughter
of Potipherah, Priest of On, whom the King of
Egypt bestowed in marriage upon Joseph.
Scholars have speculated that the name Asenath
as representative of a Coptic compound assheneit
means, "she who is of Neith." Note the
correspondence between "lsis, the ineffable,
Queen of nature," and Asenath "she who is of
Neith' (Isis-Neith). In the Old Testament, Joseph
is never refereed to as a tribe, although he was a
son of Jacob. Instead, his two sons are referred to
as each a half-tribe, Ephraim and Menasseh.

author of the Latin vulgate, have seen in Ereb,
that famed Ereb of ancient cosmogonies, only a
simple raven: transforming thus a vast and
mysterious idea into an idea petty, and
ridiculous: but I am also aware that there same
Hellenist who worked upon tile version which
bears the name of the Septuagint, Essences and
consequently initiates in the Orallaw, penetrated
the hieroglyphic meaning of the sepher deeply
enough not to be the dupes of such a
metamorphosis. One cannot read them with any
