Zechariah 11:13
_ _ Cast it unto the potter — proverbial: Throw it to the temple potter, the most suitable person to whom to cast the despicable sum, plying his trade as he did in the polluted valley (2 Kings 23:10) of Hinnom, because it furnished him with the most suitable clay. This same valley, and the potter’s shop, were made the scene of symbolic actions by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 18:1-19:15) when prophesying of this very period of Jewish history. Zechariah connects his prophecy here with the older one of Jeremiah: showing the further application of the same divine threat against his unfaithful people in their destruction under Rome, as before in that under Nebuchadnezzar. Hence Matthew 27:9, in English Version, and in the oldest authorities, quotes Zechariah’s words as Jeremiah’s, the latter being the original author from whom Zechariah derived the groundwork of the prophecy. Compare the parallel case of Mark 1:2, Mark 1:3 in the oldest manuscripts (though not in English Version), quoting Malachi’s words as those of “Isaiah,” the original source of the prophecy. Compare my Introduction to Zechariah. The “potter” is significant of God’s absolute power over the clay framed by His own hands (Isaiah 45:9; Jeremiah 18:6; Romans 9:20, Romans 9:21).
_ _ in the house of the Lord — The thirty pieces are thrown down in the temple, as the house of Jehovah, the fit place for the money of Jehovah-Messiah being deposited, in the treasury, and the very place accordingly where Judas “cast them down.” The thirty pieces were cast “to the potter,” because it was to him they were “appointed by the Lord” ultimately to go, as a worthless price (compare Matthew 27:6, Matthew 27:7, Matthew 27:10). For “I took,” “I threw,” here Matthew has “they took,” “they gave them”; because their (the Jews’ and Judas’) act was all His “appointment” (which Matthew also expresses), and therefore is here attributed to Him (compare Acts 2:23; Acts 4:28). It is curious that some old translators translate, for “to the potter,” “to the treasury” (so Maurer), agreeing with Matthew 27:6. But English Version agrees better with Hebrew and Matthew 27:10. |
Zechariah 11:13
The Lord — God the Father. Cast it — As being so little, it would hardly purchase any thing but what was the cheapest among them. A goodly price — God upbraids the shepherds of his people, who prized the great Shepherd no higher. Cast them to the potter — Or rather, cast them into the house of the Lord for the potter; all which the Jewish rulers acted over. |
Zechariah 11:13
And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the (q) potter: a glorious price that I was valued at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
(q) Showing that it was too little to pay his wages with, which could hardly suffice to make a few tiles to cover the temple. |
- Cast:
Isaiah 54:7-10 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. ... For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Matthew 27:3-10 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ... And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
Matthew 27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Acts 1:18-19 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ... And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

- a goodly:
Isaiah 53:2-3 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. ... He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

How come in the Jewish Study Bible it is translated
" Deposit it in the treasury " as opposed to " cast it
unto the potter "
