Redirect to Modi'in
I'm redirecting it to Modi'in. I know that it might prove controversial, because it is quite likely that the modern city of Modi'in is not on the same location where ancient Modi'in (or Modi'im, Modein, or Modi'it or whatever) was.

Also, i don't claim to have extensive historical or archaelogical knowledge on the subject.

The main reason i'm redirecting it is that the current prose is not too amazing anyway (my apologies to User:Beorhast), so it's essentially a merge.
