‏ Jeremiah 38:11

11 Therefore, Ebedmelech, taking the men with him, entered into the king’s house to a place below the storehouse. And he took from there old garments, no longer in use, and he sent them down by rope to Jeremiah in the pit. ^{▼▼38:11The word ‘antiqua’ can refer to very old things, but it can also refer to things that have fallen out of use. Since the text already stated that these garments (or cloths) were old, the translation ‘no longer in use’ applies.(Conte)}
