OET (OET-RV)The local Canaanite people saw the mourning at Atad’s threshing floor, and they said, “This is very serious mourning for the Egyptians.” That’s why they then named that place across the Jordan ‘Abel Mizraim(which means ‘the Egyptians mourned here’).

ULTAnd the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, and they said, “This is a heavy mourning for the Egyptians!” For that reason they called its name Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

USTWhen the Canaanites who lived in the area saw them mourning like that at Atad’s threshing place, they exclaimed to each other, “Wow! Those people from Egypt are mourning very sorrowfully for someone who died!” That is why the name of that place on the other side of the Jordan River is Abel Mizraim, which means “Egyptians’ mourning place.”

BSBWhen the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.[fn]

UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּ֡רְא יוֹשֵׁב֩ הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ הַֽ⁠כְּנַעֲנִ֜י אֶת־הָ⁠אֵ֗בֶל בְּ⁠גֹ֨רֶן֙ הָֽאָטָ֔ד

and=he/it_saw inhabitants_of the=earth/land the,Canaanites DOM the,mourning in/on/at/with,threshing_floor_of Atad

See how you translated threshing floor of Atad in verse 10.

אֵֽבֶל־כָּבֵ֥ד זֶ֖ה לְ⁠מִצְרָ֑יִם

mourning grievous this on,Egyptians

Consider again how you translated “Egyptian” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 12:14; 16:1, 3; 21:9; 25:12; 39:1, 2, 5; 41:55-56; 43:32; 45:2; 46:34; 47:15, 20; 50:3, 11. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: [Wow! Those people of Egypt are mourning very sorrowfully for someone who died!]

עַל־כֵּ֞ן

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so

Alternate translation: [That is the reason that]

קָרָ֤א שְׁמָ⁠הּ֙

he/it_called his/its=name

Consider again how you translated “For that (reason) he/they called/call …” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 11:9; 16:14; 19:22; 21:31; 25:26, 30; 31:48; 33:17; 35:8; 38:29-30; 50:11. Alternate translation: [people call that place] or [the name of that place is] or [that place is called]

אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּ⁠עֵ֥בֶר

which/who in/on/at/with,to_of

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [which is located] or [The place is]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בְּ⁠עֵ֥בֶר הַ⁠יַּרְדֵּֽן

in/on/at/with,to_of the,Jordan

For some languages it may be clearer or more natural to put this phrase earlier in this sentence and say, “That is why the name of that place on the other side of the Jordan River is Abel Mizraim, which means “Egyptians’ mourning place.”” Do what is best in your language. Also, be consistent here with how you translate this phrase in verse 10.
