Exegesis
The verse begins with a chain of three imperatives: ve-shachatu {וְשַׁחֲטוּ | wə-šaḥaṭû} ‘slaughter’, ve-hitqaddəšû {וְהִתְקַדְּשׁוּ | wə-hitqaddəšû} ‘sanctify yourselves’, and ve-hāḵînû {וְהָכִינוּ | wə-hāḵînû} ‘prepare’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 35:6
And you shall slaughter the Passover , sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers to do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
