Mourning at Atad

7So Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all Pharaoh’s servants, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.

8and all the household of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father's household; only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.

9Chariots and horsemen also went up with him, and the company became very large.

10When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and grievous lamentation, and he observed seven days of mourning for his father.

11When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
