Nain
   (from Heb. nain, "green pastures," "lovely"), the name of a town
   near the gate of which Jesus raised to life a widow's son (Luke
   7:11-17). It is identified with the village called Nein,
   standing on the north-western slope of Jebel ed-Duhy (=the "hill
   Moreh" = "Little hermon"), about 4 miles from Tabor and 25
   southwest of Capernaum. At the foot of the slope on which it
   stands is the great plain of Esdraelon.
   
     This was the first miracle of raising the dead our Lord had
   wrought, and it excited great awe and astonishment among the
   people.
