Genesis 50:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ the people who lived there, the Canaanites, could not help but notice the profound grief expressed on the threshing floor of Atad.

This is why this place of mourning that lies beyond the Jordan was renamed Abel-mizraim.

¹² So Jacob’s sons carried out his last instructions as he had directed. ¹³ They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field from Ephron the Hittite so he could have a place to bury his family.
