Musar zu Dewarim 24:6
לֹא־יַחֲבֹ֥ל רֵחַ֖יִם וָרָ֑כֶב כִּי־נֶ֖פֶשׁ ה֥וּא חֹבֵֽל׃ (ס)
Niemand soll die Mühle oder den oberen Mühlstein nehmen, um zu verpfänden; denn er nimmt einen Mann's Leben zu versprechen.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The סמ"ג goes on to quote a Rashi in the name of a Rabbi Yitzchak demonstrating that Rava considers such a transgression as a transgression of at least two if not four prohibitions. [Although the Rashi in our edition of the Talmud on that folio merely mentions that four penalties of lashes are administered, this does not change the point the סמ"ג tries to make. Ed.]
