Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Abel-Mitsrajim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to a geographical location and event in the Old Testament. Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of a geographical location associated with mourning, specifically in relation to the mourning for Jacob by Joseph and the Egyptians. Context: Abel-Mitsrajim is mentioned in the context of the burial of Jacob, the patriarch, in Genesis 50:11. After Jacob's death in Egypt, Joseph and his brothers, along with a large Egyptian entourage, traveled to Canaan to bury Jacob in the cave of the field of Machpelah. On their way, they stopped at the threshing floor of Atad, beyond the Jordan, where they observed a seven-day period of mourning. The local Canaanites witnessed this significant mourning and named the place Abel-Mitsrajim, which translates to "Mourning of Egypt," due to the profound lamentation by the Egyptians. This event highlights the deep respect and honor given to Jacob by both his family and the Egyptians, reflecting the strong ties Joseph had established in Egypt.
