Theological / Devotional

Cast it unto the potter. The reason is not given, nor is it stated why the gift was made “in the house of the Lord.” A change of one letter in the Hebrew gives the reading “treasury” instead of “potter” (see RSV). “Treasury” is also the reading of the Syriac. Some understand the words “cast it unto the potter” as merely an expression to denote the contemptuous rejection of the “pieces of silver” when they were brought to the treasury of the Temple.
