10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned there with very great and bitter sorrow. There Joseph observed a seven day period of mourning for his father. 11 When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, |This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.| That is why its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
