Contextual Overview
21And Moses calls for all [the] elderly of Israel and says to them, "Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter the Passover-sacrifice;22and you have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and you, you do not go out—each from the opening of his house—until morning. 23And YHWH has passed on to strike the Egyptians, and has seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, and YHWH has passed over the opening, and does not permit the destruction to come into your houses to strike. 24And you have observed this thing for a statute to you and to your sons for all time; 25and it has been, when you come to the land which YHWH gives to you as He has spoken, that you have kept this service; 26and it has come to pass, when your sons say to you, What [is] this service you have? 27That you have said, It [is] a sacrifice of Passover to YHWH, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His striking the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered." 28And the people bow and pay respect, and the sons of Israel go and do as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they have done.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel,.... Not in age but in office, who were either heads of families, or at least principal men in the tribes; which explains in what manner he was to speak to the congregation of Israel, and convey to them the will of God concerning the observation of these feasts, Exodus 12:3,
and said unto them, draw out; a lamb or a kid, out of the flocks on the tenth day of the month, and keep it up until the fourteenth, as in
Exodus 12:3
and take you a lamb, according to your families; or "take ye of the flock" r, whether a lamb or a kid; a lamb for every family, if there was a sufficient number in it to eat it up; if not, two or more families were to join and keep the feast together:
and kill the passover; the lamb for the passover, which was to be done on the fourteenth day of the month; and before the priesthood was established in the family of Aaron, and before the Israelites were possessed of the land of Canaan, and the temple was built at Jerusalem, the passover was killed by the heads of families, and in their own houses, but afterwards it was killed only by the priests, and at Jerusalem and in the temple there, see Deuteronomy 16:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Draw out - i. e. draw the lamb from the fold and then take it to the house.
The passover - The word is here applied to the lamb; an important fact, marking the lamb as the sign and pledge of the exemption of the Israelites.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 12:21. Kill the passover. — That is, the lamb, which was called the paschal or passover lamb. The animal that was to be sacrificed on this occasion got the name of the institution itself: thus the word covenant is often put for the sacrifice offered in making the covenant; so the rock was Christ, 1 Corinthians 10:4; bread and wine the body and blood of Christ, Mark 14:22; Mark 14:24. St. Paul copies the expression, 1 Corinthians 5:7: Christ our passover (that is, our paschal lamb) is sacrificed for us.
