WHAT IS POTTER’S FIELD?

“The potter’s field was probably a plot of ground found in Jerusalem bought by the legally minded priests in Judas’s name. The priests took the thirty pieces of silver returned by Judas and purchased a field to bury people who couldn’t afford a burial place. The Bible does not say Judas was buried here.” (Bible Answers for Almost All Your Questions)

Erin wrote down “Gommorah” and that cost her $2,000. She finished with $1,400.

David wrote down “a tomb” and that also cost him $2,000. He finished with $4,300.

Sophie thought it was “a cemetary.” She bet $4,000, which landed her in second place with $4,100.

So David Schuman is the new Jeopardy! champ and we will definitely see him tomorrow, and hopefully, you too.
