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.
