English: Our Rabbis taught: “He shall bring it” — this teaches that we compel him. Might this mean against his will? The verse says “of his free will.” How so? We compel him until he says, “I am willing.”
In the sugya: Two phrases in one passuk pull opposite directions: yakriv oto implies force; lirtzono implies consent. The resolution is not pure coercion and not pure laissez-faire. Beis din may apply pressure until the person produces a real statement of willingness — then the offering is brought as his willful act.
Type of Learning
Resolution of two phrases in one passuk — compulsion that yields genuine consent (“until he says: I am willing”).
What Is Learned
One who is obligated to bring an offering may be compelled to fulfill it, but the compulsion is aimed at producing consent, not at bypassing it. Pressure continues until he says “I am willing.” The korban must ultimately stand as his free-will act before Hashem; forced shechitah without that endpoint is not the model of this verse.
