Nain
NA'IN (na'in; "pleasantness, beauty").
The city at the gate of which
Jesus raised the widow's son to life (Lk 7:11-15).
Robinson found a hamlet named Nein, six miles SW of
Nazareth, standing on a bleak, rocky slope of the northern descending slope of Jebel
ed-Duhy (the "hill of Moreh" of Scripture) in the Valley of Jezreel. In this
locality Eusebius and Jerome place the city of Nain.
