Quotation for Yoma 154:2
ואימא אידי ואידי מצרות חד לצרות דידיה וחד לצרות דאתיין ליה מעלמא דומיא דאם תקח מי כתיב אם תקח ואם תענה אם תענה ואם תקח כתיב
it reads: 'And if thou shalt take' But perhaps both refer to affliction through rivals; one through rivalries among them, the other through rivalries of new wives, so that ['if thou shalt afflict'] would be the same as 'if thou shalt take'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus the question as to the meaning of 'and' would be disposed of.');"><sup>2</sup></span> Does Scripture say: 'If thou wilt take and afflict'?
Rashba on Niddah
There are those who explain this according to what is written in ketubot that in the future the dead will be resurrected in their clothing. This is difficult for me because the dead that Yehezkel brought back to life were obligated in mtzvot. As it says in perek Challah (Sanhedrin 92b) "My father from them" in "these are the tefillin that my father from them gave me". It appears to me that in the coming age means from the time of death [the dead will be exempt from mitzvot]. We learn that the living cannot cause the dead to violate a mitzvah, just as a parent cannot cause a child to eat something forbidden. The reason is because is says "the dead are free". Since the dead are freed from mitzvot from the time of death, in the time to come, may it come speedily in our time, we do not want to lead the person astray in the time to come.
