Core Text — Arachin 21a
תָּנוּ רַבָּנָן: יַקְרִיב אֹתוֹ — מְלַמֵּד שֶׁכּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ.

English: Our Rabbis taught: “He shall bring it” — this teaches that we compel him.

In the sugya: This is the force-half of the pair already introduced in unit 1. Standing alone, yakriv oto is the textual warrant for beis din’s power to compel delivery of an owed olah (including by distraint of property).

Type of Learning

Force of yakriv — obligation may be compelled.

What Is Learned

One obligated to bring an olah may be compelled — including by distraint — to fulfill the obligation. The verse’s “he shall bring it” is not left to pure goodwill when a real duty exists.
