Akel Dama (field Of Blood) Lyrics

GE 37:31 Then they got Joseph's robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in


the blood. 32 They took the ornamented robe back to their father and said,
"We 

found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe."



GE 37:33 He recognized it and said, "It is my son's robe! Some ferocious
animal 

has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces."



MT 27:5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away


and hanged himself.



MT 27:6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the
law 

to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." 7 So they decided
to 

use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. 8 

That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then what was


spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty silver


coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to


buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."



MT 27:11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him,


"Are you the king of the Jews?""Yes, it is as you say,"
Jesus replied.
