###### Sifrei Devarim 89:1
[Sifrei Devarim 89:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/89:1)

(דברים יג ט) **לֹא תֹאבֶה לוֹ**, מִכְּלָל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יט יח) ״וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ״ יָכוֹל אַתָּה אוֹהֵב לָזֶה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא תֹאבֶה לוֹ**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 13:9) "You shall feel no affection for him": Because it is written (Vayikra 19:12) "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself," I might think that you shall love this one (the inciter), too; it is, therefore, written "You shall feel no affection for him."

**וְלֹא תִשְׁמַע אֵלָיו**. מִכְּלָל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות כג ה) ״עָזֹב תַּעֲזֹב עִמּוֹ״, יָכוֹל אַתָּה עוֹזֵב עִם זֶה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וְלֹא תִשְׁמַע אֵלָיו**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Because it is written (Shemoth 23:5) "Unload shall you unload (his animal) with him," I might think that you should unload for this one, too; it is, therefore, written "and you shall not hearken to him."

**וְלֹא תָחוֹס עֵינְךָ עָלָיו**. מִכְּלָל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יט טז) ״לֹא תַעֲמֹד עַל דַּם רֵעֶךָ״, יָכוֹל אִי אַתָּה רַשַּׁי לַעֲמֹד עַל דָּמוֹ שֶׁל זֶה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וְלֹא תָחוֹס עֵינְךָ עָלָיו**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Because it is written (Vayikra 19:16) "And you shall not abide the (spilling of the) blood of your neighbor," I might think that the same applied to this one, too; it is, therefore, written "and your eye should not look mercifully upon him."

(דברים יג י) **יָדְךָ תִּהְיֶה בּוֹ** – מִצְוָה בְּיַד הַנִּסָּת לַהֲמִיתוֹ. מִנַּיִן לֹא מֵת בְּיַד הַנִּסָּת יָמוּת בְּיַד כָּל אָדָם? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וְיַד כָּל הָעָם בָּאַחֲרֹנָה**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"Your hand shall be against him first to put him to death": It is a mitzvah for the one incited to put him to death, and, afterwards, (if he did not die under his hand), by all men, it being written "and the hand of all the people afterwards."
