<p> ("the floor of the thorn".) A trodden space for threshing, beyond Jordan, where [[Joseph]] and his brethren and the [[Egyptian]] retinue made for seven days "great and very sore lamentation" over the body of Jacob, whence the [[Canaanites]] called the place [[Abel]] Mizraim, "the mourning of the Egyptians." [[Canaan]] being the central standpoint of the sacred history, the E. of [[Jordan]] is naturally called "beyond Jordan." The same route by which Joseph had been led captive was that by which the grand Egyptian procession doing honor to his deceased father proceeded. [[Grove]] however makes [[Atad]] W. of Jordan, as [[Jerome]] identifies it with [[Beth]] Hogla (the house of gyratory dances, or movements attendant on the funeral ceremony), known to lie between the Jordan and Jericho. The Canaanites, "the inhabitants of the land," were on the W. of Jordan (compare Genesis 50:13; Numbers 13:29). "Beyond Jordan" will thus be from the standpoint of the E. of Jordan, where Moses the writer was ( Genesis 50:10-11). </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews Atad', '''''אָטָד''''' , a ''Thorn;'' Sept. '''''Ἀτάδ''''' ) '','' the person (B.C. 1856 or ante) on whose threshingfloor the sons of Jacob and the Egyptians who accompanied them performed their final act of solemn mourning for Jacob (Genesis 1, 10, 11); on which account the place was afterward called ABEL-MIZRAIM (See Abel-Mizraim) (q.v.), "the mourning of the Egyptians." Schwarz ''(Palest.'' p. 79) causes unnecessary difficulty by placing it [[East]] of the Jordan; whereas the expression ''"Beyond'' Jordan" is to be understood with reference to a foreign approach from the east. According to Jerome ''(Onom. S.V. Area-Atad),'' it was in his day called Bethgla or Bethacla (Beth-Hogla), a name which he connects with the gyratory dances or races of the funeral ceremony: " '''''‘''''' locus gyri; eo quod ibi more plangentium circumierint." Beth-Hoglah is known to have lain between the Jordan and Jericho, therefore on the west side of Jordan (See [[Beth-Hoglah]]); and with this agrees the fact of the mention of the Canaanites, "the inhabitants of the land," who were confined to the west side of the river (see, among others, Genesis 1, 10; Genesis 11:13 of this chapter), and one of whose special haunts was the sunken district "by the '''''‘''''' side' of Jordan" ( Numbers 13:29). (See Canaan). The word '''''עֶבֶר''''' , "beyond," although usually signifying the east of Jordan, is yet used for either east or west, according to the position of the speaker. So Jerome quotes ''"Trans'' Jordanem;" but Dr. Thompson, rejecting this authority, supposes Abel- mizraim to have been located near [[Hebron]] ''(Land And Book,'' 2, 385). Atad, as a name, is possibly only an appellative descriptive of a "thorny" locality ( '''''גֹּרֵן''''' '''''הָאָטָד''''' ="the floor [or trodden space] of the thorn"). (See [[Jacob]]). </p> <p> (See [[Thorn]]). </p> | |||
