clone array of jquery/html elements

I have to clone some table rows. I only can select this rows based on their indexes. I can’t use any common class or attribute to select the rows in one shot.

I do this like this:

const rows: JQuery<HTMLElement>[] = [];
      for (let i = 0; i <= rowIndexes!.length - 1; i++) {
        const row = $(
          `tr[ng-reflect-data-row-index='${rowIndexes![i]}'`
        );
        rows.push(row);
      }

And after this I want to clone the rows array like this:

$(rows).clone()

But with this I get the error TypeError: e.cloneNode is not a function.

So, the question is, how can I clone this array as a jquery element? After clone I want to do some other operations on it, f.e. animate, wrapAll.

Thanks.
