Tractate Derekh Eretz Rabbah
He who cohabits with a maidservant is liable to the penalty for transgressing fourteen negative commands and also to the penalty of kareth at the hand of Heaven, viz.: Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind;68Lev. 19, 19. The list given here is according to the text of GRA. Cf. Sanh. 82a (Sonc. ed., pp. 543f.). Thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed;69ibid. Neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together;70ibid. Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed;71Deut. 22, 9. Thou shalt not plough [with an ox and an ass together];72ibid. 10. Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff;73ibid. 11. All these laws forbid ‘mixtures’. Thou shalt not commit adultery;74Ex. 20, 13. Thou shalt not covet;75ibid. 14. And thou shalt not lie with any beast;76Lev. 18, 23. Neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God;77ibid. 21. also one on account of [laws concerning] a non-Jewish maidservant, a harlot, a niddah and a heathen woman. And one punishment of kareth, as it is stated, May the Lord cut off to the man that doeth this him that calleth and him that answereth out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.78Mal. 2, 12. If he was a lay-Israelite and profaned his seed with a maidservant or a heathen woman, he will have no ‘awakening’79i.e. instruction. ‘Awakening’ and ‘responding’ correspond in the Heb. to him that calleth and him that answereth in Mal. 2, 12. among the Sages and no ‘responding’ among the disciples. If he was a kohen, he will not have a son that offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.

Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
“At a distance of four cubits from the place of stoning,” etc. 69Babli Makkot 5b, Hagigah 16b; Tosephta 6:6. The text is badly truncated; following the parallel sources it should read approximately:
Jehudah ben Ṭabbai said, may I never see consolation if I did not execute a perjured witness, for the Sadducees were saying, a perjured witness is not executed unless the accused was executed, as it is said, a life for a life. Simeon ben Shetah told him, may I never see consolation if it is not held against you that you spilled innocent blood since no perjured witness is executed unless both of them are shown to be perjured. At that time, he took it upon himself not to teach except what he heard from Simeon ben Sheṭaḥ.
This is the first of a series of treatments of the Simeon ben Shetaḥ legend (Mishnah 8) before one returns to a discussion of the Mishnah.
If only one of the witnesses is found perjured, neither his testimony nor that of the other witness can be used against the accused since both are testimonies of single witnesses unsupported by a second witness. The case against the accused has to be dismissed; there is no case.“Rebbi Jehudah ben Ṭabbai said, may I never see consolation if I did not execute a perjured witness, for they were saying, until he was executed, as it is said, a life for a life. Simeon ben Shetaḥ told him, may I never see consolation if it is not held against you that you spilled innocent blood. At that time, he took it upon himself not to teach except what he heard from Simeon ben Sheṭaḥ.”
