καὶ ἴδον οἱ κάτοικοι τῆς γῆς Χανάαν τὸ πένθος ἐν ἅλωνι Ἀτὰδ καὶ εἶπαν Πένθος μέγα τοῦτό ἐστιν τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Πένθος Αἰγύπτου, ὅ ἐστιν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

Y viendo los moradores de la tierra, los Cananeos, el llanto en la era de Atad, dijeron: Llanto grande es este de los Egipcios: por eso fué llamado su nombre Abelmizraim, que está á la otra parte del Jordán.

When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “ This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.
