Da folkene i landet, kanaanittene, ved kornlåven Atad så deres sorg, sa de: Stor er egypternes sorg. Derfor ble stedet kalt Abel-Mizraim, på den andre siden av Jordan.
And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.
