ABEL-MIZRAIM

(Heb. ʾāḇēl miṣrayim)

A name given to Atad, a place along the Jordan where Joseph, accompanied by Egyptian dignitaries, mourned for his deceased father Jacob (Gen. 50:11). The name is a play on Heb. ʾāḇal (“mourn”) and ʾēḇel (“mourning rites”). On the basis of Gen. 50:10-11 (“beyond the Jordan,” the “inhabitants of the land”) and v. 13 (“carried into the land”), some scholars have judged its location to be in Transjordan, N of the Dead Sea.

See Atad.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
