(דברים יז ו) **עַל פִּי שְׁנַיִם עֵדִים אוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה עֵדִים יוּמַת הַמֵּת**, יָכוֹל אֵין לִי אֶלָּא זֶה בִּלְבַד? מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת שְׁאָר הַמּוּמָתִים? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **עַל פִּי שְׁנַיִם עֵדִים אוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה עֵדִים יוּמַת הַמֵּת**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 17:6) "By word of two witnesses or three witnesses is the dead one to be put to death": This tells me only of those who are put to death in this context. Whence do I derive (the same for) the others who are put to death (by *beth-din*)? From "By word of two witnesses or three witnesses *is the dead one to be put to death*."

Whence is it derived that a (single) witness is not to testify for incrimination? From "He shall not be put to death by word of one witness."

וּמִנַּיִן שֶׁלֹּא יְלַמֵּד תַּלְמִיד חוֹבָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא יוּמַת עַל פִּי עֵד אֶחָד**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And whence is it derived that a disciple shall not speak for incrimination? From "He shall not be put to death by word of one witness" … And the sages say: Whence is it derived that a (single) witness is not to testify for exoneration? From (Bamidbar 35:20) "and a witness shall not testify in a soul." Whence is it derived that a disciple shall not speak for incrimination? From "*one* … shall not testify in a soul to kill him."
