Midrash for Sanhedrin 68:10
מתניתין דלא כר' מאיר דתניא היה ר"מ אומר מה ת"ל (דברים כא, ה) על פיהם יהיה כל ריב וכל נגע וכי מה ענין ריבים אצל נגעים
the Divine Law thus grouped all acts [of sacrifice in the same category]!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence there is only this one verse which commands that all acts of sacrifice, which includes slaughtering and sprinkling, shall be done in the prescribed fashion. Therefore, transgression of both involves only one sacrifice ');"><sup>19</sup></span> CIVIL SUITS ARE TRIED BY DAY etc. (Mnemonic: <i>Judgment, Answering, Inclining</i>.)
Sifrei Devarim
"and by their word shall every contention and every plague-spot be (ruled upon."): Contentions are being compared to plague-spots, and plague-spots to contentions. Just as plague-spots are (ruled upon) only in the daytime, so, contentions. And just as contentions are not (ruled upon) by kin, so, plague-spots. If so, why not say: Just as contentions require three (judges), so, plague-spots.
