Genesis 50:7–13

⁷So Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

⁸and all the household of Joseph and his brothers and his father’s household; they left only their little ones and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen.

⁹There also went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very ¹immense camp.

¹⁰And they came to the ¹threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they ^alamented there with a very great and ²immense lamentation; and he ³observed seven days of mourning for his father.

¹¹Now the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at ¹the threshing floor of Atad, and they said, “This is an ²immense ³mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore it was named ⁴Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

Jacob’s Burial at Machpelah

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

¹³Indeed, his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in ^athe cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field for his possession as a burial site from Ephron the Hittite.
