Atad:
buckthorn, a place where Joseph and his brethren, when on their way from Egypt to Hebron with the remains of their father Jacob, made for seven days a "great and very sore lamentation." On this account the Canaanites called it "Abel-mizraim" (Gen 50:10,11). It was probably near Hebron. The word is rendered "bramble" in Jdg 9:14, 15, and "thorns" in Psa 58:9.

Atad: The Place Where the Sons of Jacob Mourned for Their Father
Gen 50:10, 11
Atad:
(thorn) The threshing‐floor of, called also Abel‐mizraim (Genesis 50:10-11) afterwards called Beth‐hogla, and known to have lain between the Jordan and Jericho, therefore on the west side of Jordan.
Abel-Mizraim:
a'-bel-miz'-ra-im ('abhel mitsrayim, "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 (Ge 50:11). The name is a pun. The Canaanite residents saw the ‘ebhel, "the mourning," and therefore that place was called ‘abhel mitsrayim.
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.
