50:10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad ³  on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned there with very great and bitter sorrow. ⁴  There Joseph observed a seven day period of mourning for his father. 50:11 When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion ⁵  for the Egyptians.” That is why its name was called ⁶  Abel Mizraim, ⁷  which is beyond the Jordan.

Amsal 10:7

10:7 The memory ¹³  of the righteous is a blessing,

but the reputation ¹⁴  of the wicked will rot. ¹⁵ 

[16:14]  ¹ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[16:14]  ² tn Heb “and they burned for him a large fire, very great.”

[50:10]  ³ sn The location of the threshing floor of Atad is not certain. The expression the other side of the Jordan could refer to the eastern or western bank, depending on one’s perspective. However, it is commonly used in the OT for Transjordan. This would suggest that the entourage came up the Jordan Valley and crossed into the land at Jericho, just as the Israelites would in the time of Joshua.

[50:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they mourned there [with] very great and heavy mourning.” The cognate accusative, as well as the two adjectives and the adverb, emphasize the degree of their sorrow.

[50:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “this is heavy mourning for Egypt.”

[50:11]  ⁶ tn The verb has no expressed subject and so it may be translated as passive.

[50:11]  ⁷ sn The name Abel Mizraim means “the mourning of Egypt.”

[34:1]  ⁸ sn For the geography involved, see note on the term “Pisgah” in Deut 3:17.

[34:1]  map For the location of Jericho see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[2:30]  ⁹ tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[2:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “walk about before.”

[2:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “may it be far removed from me.”

[25:1]  ¹² tc The LXX reads “Maon” here instead of “Paran,” perhaps because the following account of Nabal is said to be in Maon (v. 2). This reading is followed by a number of English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The MT, however, reads “Paran,” a location which would parallel this portion of David’s life with that of the nation Israel which also spent time in Paran (Num 10:12). Also, the desert of Paran was on the southern border of Judah’s territory and would be the most isolated location for hiding from Saul.

[10:7]  ¹³ sn “Memory” (זֵכֶר, zekher) and “name” are often paired as synonyms. “Memory” in this sense has to do with reputation, fame. One’s reputation will be good or bad by righteousness or wickedness respectively.

[10:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “name.” The term “name” often functions as a metonymy of association for reputation (BDB 1028 s.v. שֵׁם 2.b).

[10:7]  ¹⁵ tn The editors of BHS suggest a reading “will be cursed” to make a better parallelism, but the reading of the MT is more striking as a metaphor.

[10:7]  sn To say the wicked’s name will rot means that the name will be obliterated from memory (Exod 17:14; Deut 25:19), leaving only a bad memory for a while.
