<p> | <p> '''''ā´bel''''' -'''''miz´rā̇''''' -'''''im''''' ( <span> אבל מצרים </span> , <i> ''''''ābhēl micrayim''''' </i> , "meadow of Egypt"): A name given to "the threshing floor of Atad," [[East]] of the [[Jordan]] and [[North]] of the [[Dead]] Sea, because [[Joseph]] and his funeral party from [[Egypt]] there held their mourning over [[Jacob]] ( <span> [[Genesis]] 50:11 </span> ). The name is a pun. The [[Canaanite]] residents saw the <i> ''''''ēbhel''''' </i> , "the mourning," and therefore that place was called <i> ''''''ābhēl micrayim''''' </i> . </p> <p> It is remarkable that the funeral should have taken this circuitous route, instead of going directly from Egypt to Hebron. [[Possibly]] a reason may be found as we obtain additional details in [[Egyptian]] history. The explanations which consist in changing the text, or in substituting the North [[Arabian]] Mutsri for Mitsrayim, are unsatisfactory. </p> | ||
