Genesis 50:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ The Canaanite people who lived near there saw how sad Joseph and his people were. So they gave Atad's threshing floor a different name. They called it ‘Abel Mizraim’.^[a] They said, ‘The Egyptians are showing that they are very sad because an important person has died.’

¹² So Jacob's sons did what he had told them to do. ¹³ They carried his body to Canaan. They buried him there in the cave, in the field at Machpelah, near Mamre. That is the cave that Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite. He had bought it as a grave for him and for his family.
