Final answer:

Joseph married Asenath in Egypt and they had two sons named Manasseh and Ephraim.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Egypt, Joseph married Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, a priest of On. They had two sons named Manasseh and Ephraim. Manasseh means 'making forgetful' because Joseph said, 'God has made me forget all my troubles and all my father's household.' Ephraim means 'fruitful' because Joseph said, 'God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.' These sons became the patriarchs of two of the twelve tribes of Israel.
