Genesis 50:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Genesis 50:10

8 as well as all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.

9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great gathering.

10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they ^amourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation. ^bHe observed seven days of mourning for his father.

11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a deep mourning of the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called¹ Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

12 So his sons did for him just as he had commanded them.

13 For ^ahis sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which Abraham ^bbought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place.

Genesis 50:10

they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, etc.—"Atad" may be taken as a common noun, signifying "the plain of the thorn bushes." It was on the border between Egypt and Canaan; and as the last opportunity of indulging grief was always the most violent, the Egyptians made a prolonged halt at this spot, while the family of Jacob probably proceeded by themselves to the place of sepulture.
