Genesis 50:7-11

New International Version

⁷ So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials^(A) accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court^(B) and all the dignitaries of Egypt— ⁸ besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household.^(C) Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.^{(D) 9} Chariots^(E) and horsemen^[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.

¹⁰ When they reached the threshing floor^(F) of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly;^(G) and there Joseph observed a seven-day period^(H) of mourning^(I) for his father.^{(J) 11} When the Canaanites^(K) who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.”^(L) That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.^[b]
