The high priests picked up the silver pieces, but then didn’t know what to do with them. “It wouldn’t be right to give this—a payment for murder!—as an offering in the Temple.” They decided to get rid of it by buying the “Potter’s Field” and use it as a burial place for the homeless. That’s how the field got called “Murder Meadow,” a name that has stuck to this day. Then Jeremiah’s words became history:They took the thirty silver pieces,The price of the one priced by some sons of Israel,And they purchased the potter’s field.And so they unwittingly followed the divine instructions to the letter.
