Genesis 50:9-11
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 And there went with [Joseph] both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.
10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond [west of] the Jordan, and there they mourned with a great lamentation and extreme demonstrations of sorrow [according to Egyptian custom]; and [Joseph] made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians. Therefore the place was called Abel-mizraim [mourning of Egypt]; it is west of 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]
