(Devarim 19:10) "And innocent blood shall not be shed in the midst of your land that the L-rd your G-d gives to you as an inheritance": Beth-din is hereby being exhorted to this end.
(Ibid. 11) "And if a man hate his neighbor, and he lie in wait for him, and he rise up against him": From here they taught: If a man transgressed a "light" commandment, in the end he will transgress a grave one. If he transgressed "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," he is destined to transgress "You shall not hate," "You shall not take revenge," "You shall not bear a grudge," and, in the end, "and your brother shall live with you" — until he arrives at the spilling of blood.
(דברים יט י) וְלֹא יִשָּׁפֵךְ דָּם נָקִי... וְהָיָה עָלֶיךָ דָּמִים – לְהַזְהִיר בֵּית דִּין עַל כָּךְ.

(דברים יט יא) ״כִּי יִהְיֶה אִישׁ שׂוֹנֵא לְרֵעֵהוּ וְאָרַב לוֹ וְקָם עָלָיו״, מִכָּן אָמְרוּ: עָבַר אָדָם עַל מִצְוָה קַלָּה – סוֹפוֹ לַעֲבוֹר עַל מִצְוָה חֲמוּרָה. עָבַר עַל (ויקרא יט יח) ״וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ״ – סוֹפוֹ לַעֲבוֹר עַל ״לֹא תִקֹּם וְלֹא תִטֹּר״, וְעַל (ויקרא יט יז) ״לֹא תִשְׂנָא אֶת אָחִיךָ״, וְעַל (ויקרא כה לו) ״וְחֵי אָחִיךָ עִמָּךְ״ עַד שֶׁיָּבֹא לִידֵי שְׁפִיכוּת דָּמִים! לְכָךְ נֶאֱמַר ״כִּי יִהְיֶה אִישׁ שׂוֹנֵא לְרֵעֵהוּ וְאָרַב לוֹ וְקָם עָלָיו״.
