And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. 19 住在耶路撒冷的众人都知道这事,所以按着他们那里的话,给那块田起名叫亚革大马,就是血田的意思。
Aceldama \A*cel"da*ma\, n. [Gr. ?, fr. Syr. [=o]k[=e]l dam[=o] the field of blood.] The potter's field, said to have lain south of Jerusalem, purchased with the bribe which Judas took for betraying his Master, and therefore called {the field of blood}. Fig.: A field of bloodshed.
The system of warfare . . . which had already converted immense tracts into one universal aceldama. --De Quincey.
