50. The righteous son of Adam told his brother that rather than both of them becoming sinners by trying to kill each other, he would prefer to see the entire sin fall on the lot of the one who was intent on the murder – the sin of the aggressor’s attempt to murder, as well as the sin of any injury that might be inflicted on him in self-defence.
