Genesis 50:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ So a very great number of chariots, cavalry, and people accompanied Joseph.

¹⁰ When they arrived at Atad^[a] (meaning “Threshing Place of Brambles”), beyond the Jordan River, they held a very great and solemn funeral service, with a seven-day period of lamentation for Joseph’s father. ¹¹ The local residents, the Canaanites, renamed the place Abel-mizraim (meaning “Egyptian Mourners”) for they said, “It is a place of very deep mourning by these Egyptians.”
