(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.
