the threshingfloor:
This place was situated, according to Jerome, between the Jordan and the city of Jericho, two miles from the former, and three from the latter, where Bethagla was afterwards built. Procopius of Gaza states the same. As aataad signifies thorns, the place might have been remarkable for their production; though all the versions except the Arabic consider it as a proper name. As Moses wrote or revised his history on the east side of Jordan, the term beyond Jordan, in his five books, means westward of Jordan; but in other parts of Scripture it generally means eastward.

beyond:
"And when the inhabitantsª ° of the land,ª the Canaanites,ª sawª °¹ the mourningª in the floorª of Atad,ª they said,ª ° This¹ [is] a grievousª mourningª to the Egyptians:ª wherefore¹ ¹ the name¹ of it² was calledª ° Abelmizraim,ª which¹ [is] beyondª Jordan.ª" {Gen 50:11} + "These¹ [be] the wordsª which¹ Mosesª spakeª ° unto¹ all¹ Israelª on this sideª Jordanª in the wilderness,ª in the plainª over againstª the Redª [sea], between¹ Paran,ª and Tophel,ª and Laban,ª and Hazeroth,ª and Dizahab.ª" {Deu 1:1}

seven days:
"And when the daysª of his mourningª were past,ª ° Josephª spakeª ° unto¹ the houseª of Pharaoh,ª saying,ª ° If¹ now¹ I have foundª ° graceª in your eyes,ª speak,ª ° I pray you,¹ in the earsª of Pharaoh,ª saying,ª °" {Gen 50:4} + "He that touchethª ° the deadª ° bodyª of any¹ manª shall be uncleanª ° sevenª days.ª" {Num 19:11} + "And the childrenª of Israelª weptª ° for¹ Mosesª in the plainsª of Moabª thirtyª days:ª so the daysª of weepingª [and] mourningª for Mosesª were ended.ª °" {Deu 34:8} + "And they tookª °¹ their bones,ª and buriedª ° [them] under¹ a treeª at Jabesh,ª and fastedª ° sevenª days.ª" {1Sm 31:13} + "And Davidª lamentedª ° with¹ this¹ lamentationª over¹ Saulª and over¹ Jonathanª his son:ª" {2Sm 1:17} + "So they sat downª ° with¹ him upon the groundª sevenª daysª and sevenª nights,ª and none¹ spakeª ° a wordª unto¹ him: for¹ they sawª ° that¹ [his] griefª was very² great.ª °¹" {Job 2:13} + "Andª devoutª menª carriedª ° Stephenª [to his burial], andª madeª ° greatª lamentationª overª him.ª" {Act 8:2}
