History

Antiquity

Rock-sunk tombs have been found here, probably of Christian origin.[7]

Nein is mentioned in the writing of Eusebius (c. 263–339) and Jerome (c. 347–420) as being situated near Endor (Indur).[8] Its identity as a biblical site was recognized by the Crusaders, who built a church there to commemorate the site of the miracle, a church rebuilt by the Franciscans.[4][8][9]

In 1101, during the Crusader era, Tancred, Prince of Galilee granted Nein together with several other villages to the abbey of Mount Tabor.[10] In 1153, it belonged to the Hospitallers.[11] By 1263, the area was ruled by Baybars.[9]

Ottoman era

Nein, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the

Muslim. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to winter pastures and occasional revenues; the taxes totalled 80,000 akçe.[12]

In 1838 Robinson and Smith noted that Nein had decreased in size over the ages, and was at time a small hamlet, inhabited by a few families.[6][8][13] In 1875 Victor Guérin saw here a ruined building, measuring 18 times 12 paces.[14]

In the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine (1882), Nein was described as a small village made of stone and adobe, with a small mosque, named Mukam Sidna Aisa, to the north.[15]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British authorities, Nain had a population of 157, all Muslims,[16] increasing in the 1931 census to 189, still all Muslim, in a total of 34 houses.[17]

In the 1945 statistics the population was 270, all Muslims,[18] while the total land area was 4,687 dunams (1,158 acres), according to an official land and population survey.[19] Of this, 87 dunams (21 acres) were for plantations and irrigable land, 3,602 for cereals,[20] while 31 dunams were classified as built-up areas.[21]
