Moses summoned the elders of Israel, and said to them, 'Gather [the people] and get yourselves sheep for your families, so that you will be able to slaughter the Passover sacrifice.
Vayikra Moshe lechol-zikney Yisra'el vayomer alehem mishchu ukchu lachem tson lemishpechoteychem veshachatu haPasach.


Commentary:

elders of Israel
  See note on Exodus 3:16.

Gather the people
  (Radak, Sherashim; cf. Judges 4:6). Or, 'go forth' (Hirsch); 'Remove [idolatry]' (Targum Yonathan; Mekhilta); or, 'Lead or buy sheep' (Rashi).
