Gen 41:45
  Interlinear
Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Tsofnat-Paneach [meaning “revealer of secrets”], and he gave him Asenath as his wife, the daughter of the priest Poti-Fera of On [Heliopolis—the City of the Sun, known for its worship of the sun gods Ra and Atum; see Jer 43:13]. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
[Poti-Fera is a longer form of the name Potiphar. Most Jewish and Christian biblical scholars view them as two different people, although some rabbinic traditions (Rashi, Rashbam, and Alshish) maintain that it was the same Potiphar (Gen. 39:4, 20) who imprisoned Joseph and who was a general (Gen. 39:1), but who later changed careers and became a priest.]
Gen 41:50
  Interlinear
Before the years of famine began, two sons were born to Joseph; Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Fera, the priest of On [Heliopolis], bore them to him.
Gen 46:20
  Interlinear

To Joseph in the land of Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born by his wife Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On [Gen. 41:45].
