Editing Anathoth (section)

==In Christianity==
Some Christians{{Who|date=April 2024}} believe that Jeremiah prophesied that the field there would be bought from money by the chief priests, that [[Judas Iscariot]] had returned after he had betrayed [[Jesus]] before he hanged himself, an interpretation possibly favored by the [[Gospel of Matthew]]. ({{Bibleref2|Jeremiah|32:1-15}}; [[Matthew 27]]:3-10) Other readers{{Who|date=April 2024}} suggest that Jeremiah 32 simply shows Jeremiah purchasing the field as one of his many prophetic actions, indicating that the [[Babylonian captivity]] would come to an end and people would be returned to the land of Judah.
