Genesis 50:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Both chariots and charioteers went up with him. It was a very great company. 10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they held there a very great and sorrowful lamentation, and he observed a time of mourning for his father seven days.(A) 11 When the Canaanite inhabitants of the land saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning on the part of the Egyptians.” Therefore the place was named Abel-mizraim;[a] it is beyond the Jordan.

New International Version
9 Chariots(A) and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.
10 When they reached the threshing floor(B) of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly;(C) and there Joseph observed a seven-day period(D) of mourning(E) for his father.(F) 11 When the Canaanites(G) who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.”(H) That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]
