This article offers options on what went down. However this statement is incorrect: "Asenath raised her children in accordance with the tenants of Judaism." (Joseph was not a Jew as bloodline Jews only came through Judah, his brother.) Jews are not all of Hebrews, not anymore than Californians are all of Americans from the USA and at best today's Jews are just a percentage and are only part of the tribe of Judah Pharez branch only. Today's Jews historically are a mix themselves of Khazarians and Edomites with bloodline Judah Pharez branch decendants, check your history!

Asenath didn't bring her sons up in Judaism. Judaism wasn't even a thing then.
