הזהיר הדיין שלא להרוג נקי וזכאי. והוא אמרו לא תרצח. (יתרו, הלכות רוצח פ"א):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
That He prohibited the judge - not to kill someone clean and innocent. And that is His saying, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:15). (See Parashat Yitro; Mishneh Torah, Murderer and the Preservation of Life 1.)
