I just find interesting how Judah sold his own brother Joseph for 20 pieces of silver, the same way Judas Iscariot sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver!
Now, Judah means ''praise'' in Hebrew & Joseph means ''Jehovah increases''. On the other hand, Judas also means ''praise'' while Jesus means ''Jehovah saves''.
Here's what I attempt to extrapolate. In the case of Joseph, selfless praise to God cost him some trials but made way to provision (material) for the whole family later on. In the case of Jesus, selfless praise to God cost Him everything but made way to provision (spiritual) for the whole world!
