Typical of Christ as prophet. Zech. xiii. 4, 5, shows that a
hairy garment was the badge of the prophetic office. When the sick King Ahaziah
enquired what sort of man it was that met messengers, they replied that he was
a hairy man; that is, he wore a hairy garment, and had a leathern girdle round
his loins. Immediately the King recognized the description as that of Elijah
the prophet. John the Baptist is, likewise, described as having a camel’s hair
garment and a leathern girdle.[i]
