(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_changed DOM clothes_of his_imprisonment_of,his and=he/it_will_eat food/grain/bread regularly before,,him all/each/any/every days_of his/its=life )

Giving Jehoiachin different clothes to wear was a symbolic action by which Evil Merodach showed that Jehoiachin’s status had changed from prisoner to honored guest. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And he changed the clothes of his imprisonment to show that he was no longer a prisoner]
