Commentary on Exodus 12:21
Moses' calling 'all the elders of Israel' establishes a leadership chain for transmitting God's commands. The instruction to 'draw out' (mashach) and 'take' a lamb emphasizes both separation from the flock and personal appropriation. Each household taking a specific lamb for their specific household pictures individual appropriation of Christ—general belief must become personal faith.
