שהזהיר המוסת מהציל את המסית כשיראה אותו בענין המיתה והצרה. והוא אמרו יתעלה לא תחוס עינך עליו ובא הפירוש מכלל שנאמר לא תעמוד על דם רעך יכול אי אתה עומד על דמו של זה תלמוד לומר לא תחוס עינך. (שם, שם):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
That He prohibited an incited one from saving the inciter when he sees him in a matter of death or distress. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "and you shall show him no pity" (Deuteronomy 13:9). And it appears in the explanation (Sifrei Devarim 89:3), "It is implied from its being stated, 'you shall not stand by the blood of your neighbor' (Leviticus 19:16) [that] perhaps you should not stand by the blood of this one. [Hence] we learn to say, 'you shall show him no pity.'" (See Parashat Re'eh; Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations 5.)
