Gen 50:10 — And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which [is] beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

the threshingfloor   This place was situated, according to Jerome, between the Jordan and the city of Jericho, two miles from the former, and three from the latter, where Bethagla was afterwards built. Procopius of Gaza states the same. As aataad signifies thorns, the place might have been remarkable for their production; though all the versions except the Arabic consider it as a proper name. As Moses wrote or revised his history on the east side of Jordan, the term beyond Jordan, in his five books, means westward of Jordan; but in other parts of Scripture it generally means eastward.
beyond   Gen 50:11; Deu 1:1
seven days   Gen 50:4; Num 19:11; Deu 34:8; 1Sa 31:13; 2Sa 1:17; Job 2:13; Act 8:2
