It is associated with the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot. After Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, they used the money to purchase this field as a burial place for foreigners, as it was considered blood money.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of first-century Judea, fields were often used for various purposes, including agriculture and burial. The purchase of Hakeldamach with the money Judas received for betraying Jesus highlights the cultural and religious significance of blood money, which was considered tainted and unfit for use in the temple treasury. The field's name serves as a perpetual reminder of the consequences of Judas's actions and the fulfillment of prophecy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Aramaic origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Hakeldama, a field appar. located south of the valley of Hinnom<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hakeldama (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 184: Ἁκελδαμά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἁκελδαμά</span></span>, or <span class="greek2">Ἁκελδαμάχ</span> (Lachmann), (or <span class="greek2">Ἁκελδαμά</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (see their Introductory § 408)), or <span class="greek2">Ἀχελδαμάχ</span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span>), from Chaldean <span class="hebrew">דְּמָא</span> <span class="hebrew">חֲקָל</span> (field of blood), <span class="accented">Akeldama</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/1-19.htm">Acts 1:19</a>; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">αἷμα</span></span>, 2 a.
