# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Based on the situation with Judas that Peter just recounted, he recalls two Psalms of David that relate to the incident. The quote ends at the end of this verse.
|
|
|
|
# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Peter continues his speech to the believers that he began in [Acts 1:16](./15.md).
|
|
|
|
# For it is written in the Book of Psalms
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "For David wrote in the Book of Psalms" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

|
|
# Let his field be made desolate, and do not let even one person live there
|
|
|
|
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

|
# Let his field be made desolate
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) that the word "field" refers to the field where Judas died or 2) that the word "field" refers to Judas's dwelling place and is a metaphor for his family line. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
