se.cha.vah denotes worn cloth items used as padding beneath ropes for Jeremiah.

The attested use denotes worn cloth items: in the rescue scene, they are taken from the king's house and placed beneath Jeremiah's arm joints under the ropes.

Senses in use

  1. Worn cloth used as protective padding · dominant

    The plural noun occurs in the rescue of Jeremiah. In Jeremiah 38:11 the APB renders the items as "old rags and worn-out clothes" lowered by ropes to Jeremiah; in Jeremiah 38:12 it renders them as material placed beneath his arm joints under the ropes.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Jeremiah 38:11 and Jeremiah 38:12, the APB presents the items as "old rags and worn-out clothes." That paired wording cannot isolate the lemma from the accompanying cloth term.
