John wore a garment of camel’s hair The description of John the Baptist's clothing is significant in understanding his prophetic role and lifestyle. The Greek word for "garment" (ἱμάτιον, himation) indicates a cloak or outer garment, which was common attire. However, the material, "camel’s hair," is noteworthy. Camel hair was coarse and uncomfortable, symbolizing John's ascetic lifestyle and his separation from worldly comforts. This attire connects John to the prophet Elijah, who is described in 2 Kings 1:8 as a "hairy man" with a leather belt.
