OET (OET-RV) After they crossed the Jordan river, they arrived at Atad’s threshing floor, and they mourned there for seven days with very loud wailing.
וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עַד
and=they_came until
Alternate translation: “Then when they came to” or “When they arrived at”
גֹּ֣רֶן הָאָטָ֗ד
גֹּרֶן הָאָטָד
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “Atad’s threshing floor/place,” or “a place owned by a man named Atad where people separated grain from chaff,” or (2) “the threshing floor/place near the city/town of Atad,” or “Goren Ha-Atad,” or (3) “the grain/wheat threshing place that was surrounded by thornbushes,” The Hebrew word “atad” means “thorns,” but most Bible scholars think it refers here to the name of a person or city.

אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּעֵ֣בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וַיִּ֨סְפְּדוּ
which/who in/on/at/with,to the,Jordan and,lamented
For some languages it may be better to put this clause earlier in this verse and say, “They traveled to the other side of the Jordan River and stopped at a grain threshing place owned by a man named Atad.” The location of Atad’s threshing floor is not certain. It was most likely on the west side of the Jordan River, since that is where the cave was located and that is where the Canaanites would have been most likely to observe Joseph’s family and the Egyptians mourning (verse 11). However, since its location is not certain, it is best to translate beyond the Jordan in a general way (like the Hebrew text is). Alternate translation: “which was located across the Jordan River,”
וַיִּ֨סְפְּדוּ שָׁ֔ם
and,lamented there
Alternate translation: “they began to mourn”
מִסְפֵּ֛ד גָּד֥וֹל וְכָבֵ֖ד מְאֹ֑ד
lamentation big/great and,sorrowful very
Alternate translation: “with a very loud and sorrowful lamentation”

וַיַּ֧עַשׂ לְאָבִ֛יו אֵ֖בֶל שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים
and=he/it_made for,father,his mourning seven days
For some languages it may be clearer or more natural to combine the last two sentences in this verse and say, “There Joseph and the others mourned for his father very loudly and sorrowfully for seven days.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “For seven days Joseph and the others grieved the death of his father.” or “and for seven days, Joseph led everyone in mourning the death of his father.”
50:10-13 This journey into Canaan was made in sorrow to bury a man; the next journey into the land would be to live there.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
