Alkitab Terjemahan Lama

Yeremia 38:11

Hata, maka oleh Ebed-Melekh dibawalah akan orang itu sertanya, dan iapun masuklah ke dalam istana baginda, sampai ke bawah perbendaharaan, diambilnya dari sana akan beberapa helai kain yang buruk-buruk dan karung yang tua-tua, lalu diulurkannya dengan tali kepada Yermia ke dalam perigi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Ebedmelech took the men with him,.... The thirty men, as the king ordered: as soon as ever he had got the grant, he immediately set about the work, and lost no time to save the prophet's life:

and went unto the house of the king under the treasury; from the gate of Benjamin he went to the king's palace, and to a particular place under the treasury; by which "treasury" may be meant the treasury of garments, or the royal wardrobe, under which was a place, where clothes worn out, or cast off, were put: the Septuagint represent it as underground, a cellar under the wardrobe:

and took thence old cast clouts, and old rotten rags: the Syriac version has it, such as cattle were wiped and cleaned with:

and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah; for it was so deep, that men could not reach to put them into the hands of the prophet; and, had they been thrown in, they might have been scattered about and be out of his reach, who stuck in the mire; or they would have been in all likelihood greatly bedaubed with the mire.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Old cast clouts ... - Rags of torn garments and rags of worn-out garments.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 38:11. Went into the house of the king - and took thence — The eastern kings had their wardrobes always well furnished; as garments were a usual present to ambassadors, c. I cannot think that, in the proper acceptation of the words, these were in any part of the king's house.

Old cast clouts, and old rotten rags — The fact seems to be this: there were several garments that had been used, and would not be used again and there were others which, through continuing long there, had by insects, &c., been rendered useless. These he took, tied to the cord, let down to the prophet, that he might roll them round the ropes, and place them under his arm-pits, so that in being hauled up he might not suffer injury from the ropes, which in this case must sustain the whole weight of his body.
