 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 Judg. 9:14, 15, and "thorns" in Ps. 58:9.
