“And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.”
So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. The potter's field purchased with the blood money: the council decision to buy the field for burying strangers is the practical use of the returned silver. The potter's field becomes the burial place for the strangers — the foreigners who died in Jerusalem without family nearby.
