Commento su Numeri 1:16
אֵ֚לֶּה קריאי [קְרוּאֵ֣י] הָעֵדָ֔ה נְשִׂיאֵ֖י מַטּ֣וֹת אֲבוֹתָ֑ם רָאשֵׁ֛י אַלְפֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽם׃
Questi erano gli eletti della congregazione, i principi delle tribù dei loro padri; erano i capi delle migliaia di Israele.
Rashi on Numbers
אלה קרואי העדה THESE WERE THOSE CALLED OF THE CONGREGATION — those who were called upon for every matter of importance that happened in the congregation.

קרואי העדה, “the above named were so described as their importance was such that no decisions were taken unless these men were present.”

To everything of importance. Rashi wishes to explain: Was their importance [only] that they called to the entire the congregation? Thus Rashi explains they were “invited to everything” meaning they were invited to deliberate and decide matters affecting the congregation.
