Midrash for Sanhedrin 68:5
ר"ע אומר (ויקרא יז, ח) או זבח לרבות את הזורק ותרוייהו מאי קא מרבו זריקה מר מייתי לה מדם יחשב ומר מייתי לה מאו זבח
but not the burnt offering of a fowl; whereas he who deduced it from 'burnt offering' includes even a burnt offering of a fowl? — But, said R. Ashi, it is illustrated by the following Baraitha:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Zeb. 107a. ');"><sup>9</sup></span> Blood shall be imputed unto that man, he hath shed blood;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XVII, 4. ');"><sup>10</sup></span>
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.
