In acts of the apostles - hakeldama means?
Hakeldama, Hageldama, Akeldama, and Aceldama are all transliterations of the Aramaic words which mean "Field of Blood". A transliteration is a word that the translators chose to convert letter by letter from one alphabet into another, as opposed to translating a word from one language into another language to preserve its meaning. The practices of translating and transliterating can be illustrated in using the following example: The original Aramaic word for "Field of Blood" looks like this: חקל דמא. Because this word is in Aramaic letters and not English letters, not only would we not know what this word means, we also would not know how to pronounce it and would have a difficult time trying to write it down or type it on a typewriter or computer. So this word can be transliterated using English letters into "hagel dama", or translated using English words into "Field of Blood". Acts 1:19 "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."

Did Judas Iscariot die on the cross?
Matthew 27:5 says that Judas threw down the silver in the Temple and went and hanged himself. The priests took the blood money and bought the potter's field, which they called the field of blood. Judas committed suicide.Acts 1:18 says that Judas bought a field with the reward of iniquity, and fell headlong, bursting asunder and all his bowels gushed out. Because of this, the field was called the field of blood. Judas' purchase demonstrates that he had no intention of commiting suicide. He died by misadventure, not suicide.In other words, neither Matthew nor Luke knew how Judas Iscariot died. This conclusion is supported by other discrepancies in the two stories, not just the manner of Judas' death. Matthew seems to have got his story from the Book of Zechariah. There must have been a tradition that associated his death with the field of blood. In the Jerusalem are there are a lot of cliffs with trees near the edges that are often used for suicide, people could tie a rope to a branch on the tree and jump off and hang themselves that way, sometimes the branches would break and people would just fall to the bottom of the cliff, this is probably what happened to Judas Iscariot. Judas committed suicide by hanging. Matthew and Acts complement each other in their accounts rather than contradict. One is more general in nature while the other added more of the gruesome detail of the event.AnswerThere is also the potential issue of a mistranslated Greek word in Acts 1:18. the Greek word translated "falling headlong" is "prenes," and it is now believed, based on linguistic study of the word's usage, that it should be translated "swollen up." So it is also plausible that after hanging himself, Judas hung there so long that his body began to decompose and swelled up to the point where his internal organs burst open in the midsection area. This, again, is also not implausible or impossible. Thus, the passages are easily harmonized when all the facts are taken into consideration.While some may attempt to rationalize away these facts by irrationally dismissing them without offering any linguistic evidential support, the fact remains that if indeed the Greek word "prenes" has been mistranslated, this changes the understanding of what happened to Judas' body. There is no need to suggest a "fall" from the hanging if the word "fall" is not part of the actual text. Thus, Judas simply hung there and decomposed (Matthew 27:5) until parts of his body burst open (Acts 1:18), which, again, is completely consistent with the scientific facts we know.Sometimes the facts support "both...and" propositions, not "either...or" propositions. For example, Matthew 27:7 clearly speaks of how the priests physically, literally bought the land, using the Greek word "agorazo" meaning to buy or sell in the marketplace.In Acts 1:18, however, we clearly do not have Judas physically, literally buying a field according to the use of a different Greek word for the purchase ("ektesato," from "ktaomai," meaning to acquire, get, possess), and according to the contextual facts. Since it should be quite evident that people do not literally purchase land with "the wages of iniquity" or "reward of unrighteousness" (ἐκ τοῦ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας), we know that Judas' "purchase" was not meant to be taken as a literal business transaction. Thus we logically can conclude that there is an oriental or Semitic play on words, where we have the priests making a literal purchase, but Judas making a figurative or metaphorical purchase by his sin (the "wages" of unrighteousness) of betraying the innocent blood of Jesus.So there is no contradiction here, except in the minds of those who simply refuse to do adequate and thorough research into the issues to understand what the texts are saying. So there is no valid "either...or" situation in these texts. It is a "both...and" situation that can easily be seen by those who do not have some agenda to do eisegesis by reading contradictions and incompatible claims into the texts. While many are unwilling to accept that the Bible can ever contain inconsistencies or contradictions, the two stories of the death of Judas comprise one such example.AnswerMatthew 27:5 says that Judas threw down the silver in the Temple and went and hanged himself. The priests took the blood money and bought the potter's field, which they called the field of blood, because it was blood money.Acts 1:18 says that Judas bought a field with the reward of iniquity, and fell headlong, bursting asunder and all his bowels gushed out. In this account, the field was called the "field of blood" because of Judas' misadventure.The two stories are entirely incompatible: either the priests bought the land or Judas did; either Judas hanged himself or he fell headlong. Some attempt to harmonise the two stories to a limited extent by saying that Judas must have chosen a tree branch just strong enough to hold his weight, but that after death his increased "dead weight" broke the branch and his body fell, bursting asunder. Of course, the notion of an increased "dead weight" defies the laws of physics, but for some this is at least an argument. Others argue that those who interpret the passages according to the ordinary meaning of the words are guilty of failing to study the scriptures. Attempts to redefine the Greek word, prēnēs as meaning "swollen" make no difference to the actual meaning of the sentence in Acts. It is mere speculation to take this a step further and say that (after a few days) Judas' body might just have fallen from the tree and that Luke chose not to mention the hanging.AnswerScripture tells us that Judas Iscariot felt remorse about betraying Our Lord so he hung himself from a tree.
