Regardless of what truth or fiction there is in these fabels we can glean the following from the Bible:
There is a triple emphasis "Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On" (Genesis 41:45, Genesis 42:50, Genesis 46:20). No mention of 'God-fearing' like Rahab (Joshua 2:11).
Joseph declared to his brothers 'it is not you who sent me here but God' Genesis 45:8.
Was Asenath an Egyptian name? In Genesis 43:32 we read Joseph ate by himself. How could Asenath marry someone as 'detestable' as Joseph?
One simple (even romantic!) conclusion we can draw from this: "Asenath was 'sent' (or 'prepared') ahead for Joseph"
