Midrash su Deuteronomio 19:19

וַעֲשִׂ֣יתֶם ל֔וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר זָמַ֖ם לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לְאָחִ֑יו וּבִֽעַרְתָּ֥ הָרָ֖ע מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ׃

allora farai a lui, come aveva deciso di fare a suo fratello; così allontanerai il male da te stesso.

Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael

(Ibid.) "You shall not steal": (Exodus 21:14) "One who steals a man and sells him, etc." tells us of the punishment. Whence the exhortation? "You shall not steal." This is an exhortation against stealing a soul (i.e., kidnapping). You say this, but perhaps it is an exhortation against stealing money. (Leviticus 19:11) "You shall not steal" is an exhortation against stealing money. What, then, must be the meaning of "You shall not steal" (here)? You shall not steal a soul. __ But perhaps this, (and not the other) is an exhortation against stealing money, and not an exhortation against stealing a soul? Would you say that? Go out and learn from the thirteen principles (by which the Torah is expounded, one of which is learning a thing from its context), viz.: Three mitzvoth are stated in this context, two ("You shall not kill" and "You shall not commit adultery") and one ("You shall not steal") ambiguous. Just as the explicit are mitzvoth punishable by judicial death penalty, so, the ambiguous must be a mitzvah punishable by judicial death penalty. You cannot understand it, then, as per the second option (i.e., You shall not steal money), but as per the first (i.e., You shall not kidnap.) This, (our verse, then, must be an exhortation against stealing a soul, and the other, an exhortation against stealing money. (Ibid.) "You shall not testify against your neighbor false testimony." (Devarim 19:19) "And you shall do to him as he (a scheming witness) schemed to do against his brother, etc." tells us of the punishment. Whence the exhortation? "You shall not testify against your neighbor, etc."

Sifrei Devarim

"and you shall hang him": "him," without his garments (i.e., naked). "him," and not scheming witnesses against him (viz. Devarim 19:19). "him": We are hereby taught that two are not judged (for such an offense) on one day.
