11:50: It is better for you that one man dies for the
people and not that the entire nation perishes.
Genesis Rabbah 91 (58A): It is better מוטב for one life to be in uncertain perilous
danger than all in certain death. ‖ Genesis Rabbah 94 (60A): It is better מוטב that this man be killed than the whole צִיבּוּרָא be punished because of him. ‖ Midrash
Samuel 32 § 3 (71A): Is it not better for you לא טב לכון to sacrifice a thousand men than for your
entire city to be destroyed?—This is different in the parallel passage in Midr.
Eccl. 9:18 (64A). (Hermann L. Strack and Paul Billerbeck, A Commentary on
the New Testament from the Talmud & Midrash, 3 vols. [trans. Jacob N.
Cerone; Bellingham, Wash.: Lexham Press, 2022], 2:627)
