The pseudepigrapha Joseph and Aseneth is a work dating between the centuries I B.C.E. and I C.E., a product of the Jewish community who lived in the diaspora in Alexandria. The book is a novel about the meeting of Joseph, a Jewish patriarch, with Aseneth, her conversion and her marriage to Joseph. The result of a community that lived the challenges and hostilities of the diaspora, Joseph and Aseneth has elements that reveal an identity of this community. The Judaism of the Hellenistic period has changed. Jewish identity, that until then, was limited to geographicalethnic issues, started to open its borders to encompass also the proselytes and those married to Jews. Aseneth is an example of a proselyte who converts to Judaism because of an individual experience with the God of Joseph. Her introduction into the Jewish community occurs from her conversion and marriage to Joseph. This research has as its scope to find out elements for building a Jewish identity based on the analysis of the Pseudepigrapha Joseph and Aseneth. This identity is portrayed in the novel: (1) from the reproach and assimilation of Greek and Egyptian culture and religion; (2) from the introduction of proselytes in the Jewish community; (3) in an ethic of non-retaliation; (4) in a plain sexuality; (5) in epiphanies as elements that authenticate the new status.
