[Meshell Ndegéocello - 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
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"
