Note 1 topic: writing-background
αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης
himself and ¬the John
Matthew uses the word Now to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next. The word does not introduce another event in the story. This background information is found in [3:4–6](../03/04.md). Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: [Concerning this John, he]

˓was˒_having the clothing ˱of˲_him from hairs ˱of˲_˓a˒_camel
The phrase had his clothing from the hair of a camel means that he wore clothes made from camels’ hair. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [wore clothing made from the hair of camels]
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ζώνην δερματίνην
˓a˒_belt leather
A leather belt is a thin strap made out of animal skin that holds clothing in place. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of clothing, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [an animal skin strap] or [a band made from animal skin]
3:4 John’s clothes and food correspond to those of his prophetic predecessor, Elijah (2 Kgs 1:8; Mal 4:5; Sirach 48:10-11).
