POTTERS FIELD, THE - P>@ - a piece of ground which, according to the statement of St. Matthew, kjv@Matthew:27:7) was purchased by the Priests with the thirty pieces of silver rejected by Judas, and converted into a burial-place for Jews not belonging to the city. ACELDAMA

POTTERY - P>@ - The art of pottery is one of the most common and most ancient of all manufactures. It is abundantly evident, both that the Hebrews used earthenware vessels in the wilderness and that the potter’s trade was afterward carried on in Palestine. They had themselves been concerned in the potter’s trade in Egypt, kjv@Psalms:81:6) and the wall-paintings minutely illustrate the Egyptian process. The clay, when dug, was trodden by men’s feet so as to form a paste, kjv@Isaiah:41:25) Wisd. 15:7; then placed by the potter on the wheel beside which he sat, and shaped by him with his hands. How early the wheel came into use in Palestine is not known, but it seems likely that it was adopted from Egypt. kjv@Isaiah:45:9; kjv@Jeremiah:15:3) The vessel was then smoothed and coated with a glaze, and finally burnt in a furnace. There was at Jerusalem a royal establishment of potters, ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:23) from whose employment, and from the fragments cast away in the process, the Potter’s Field perhaps received its name. kjv@Isaiah:30:11)

Pottery @ the art of, was early practised among all nations. Various materials seem to have been employed by the potter. Earthenware is mentioned in connection with the history of Melchizedek kjv@Genesis:14:18), of Abraham (18:4-8), of Rebekah (27:14), of Rachel (29:2-3, 8, 10).
