Our Daf cited a Baraisa in which the word ועשית was expounded to teach that the Beis Din is empowered to force a person to carry through and honor his verbal commitment to bring an offering.
The Gemara challenged this insight by showing that this same lesson is apparently learned from a different verse altogether. יקריב teaches that a person can be compelled to fulfill his responsibilities. The Gemara resolves this problem by demonstrating that the two verses actually teach two distinct cases of Beis Din intervening to compel a person to fulfill his pledge.
We explore the notion of Halachic coercion and an analysis of vaccine mandates from such a perspective.
