Abstract
The location of ancient Modi'in, the hometown of the Hasmonaeans-as mentioned in 1 Maccabees and the writings of Josephus-has been in dispute ever since geographical-historical research on the site began. In this paper we explore the various possible locations for Modi'in and propose a different geographical solution to the problem.
