- Genesis 3:21
And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
Commentary on Genesis 3:212 voices
It is said that God made those miserable garments with which the first man was clothed after he had sinned. "For God made skin tunics and clothed Adam and his wife." Therefore, those were tunics of skin taken from animals. For with such as these, it was necessary for the sinner to be dressed. It says, "with skin tunics," which are a symbol of the mortality that he received because of his skin and of his frailty that came from the corruption of the flesh.

- Leviticus 8:17
But the bull with its hide, flesh, and dung he burned outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded him.
Commentary on Leviticus 8:171 voice
But the bullock and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp,.... Aben Ezra observes, that some say that he did this himself; and others, that it was done by orders, that is, he ordered others to do it, which seems probable enough: as the Lord commanded Moses; Exo 29:14.

- 2 Kings 1:8
“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.

- Matthew 3:4
John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Commentary on Matthew 3:42 voices
(Verse 4.) Now John himself had a garment made of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He said, 'It is made of hair, not wool.' The type of clothing indicates austerity, not luxury. The leather belt that he wore, just like Elijah, is a symbol of mortification (IV Kings 1). Furthermore, what follows is... But his food was locusts and wild honey. It is fitting for a dweller of solitude to fulfill not the delights of food, but the necessity of human flesh.

- Mark 1:6
John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
Commentary on Mark 1:62 voices
John the Baptist had a religious mother and his father was a priest. Yet neither his mother's affection nor his father's affluence could induce him to live in his parents' house at the risk of the world's temptations. So he lived in the desert. Seeking Christ with his eyes, he refused to look at anything else. His rough garb, his girdle made of skins, his diet of locusts and wild honey were all alike designed to encourage virtue and continence.
Jerome· LETTER 125, TO RUSTICUS 7, 420Patristic
And John was clothed with camel's hair,.... This is a description of John by his clothes; See Gill on Mat 3:4, to which may be added, that it was usual for penitents, and men of austere lives, and of the first class for holiness and religion, to live in deserts, to fare hard, and wear coarse apparel.

- Acts 9:43
And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Commentary on Acts 9:432 voices
Notice the complete absence of arrogance in Peter. Having performed such a great miracle, he seeks lodging not with her nor with any other notable person, but with Simon the tanner; he is not ashamed of lowly people and does not give the great occasion …

- Acts 10:5
Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.
Commentary on Acts 10:52 voices
And summon Simon, who is called Peter; he lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. All things in the Holy Scriptures are filled with spiritual figures, even the names and the location of places. Peter lodges in the house …
Bede· Retractions on Acts, 735Patristic
And now send men to Joppa,.... Which lay near to Caesarea; and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: the angel was not sent to instruct Cornelius himself, but to direct him to an apostle of Christ, and minister of the Gospel, who should do it; for not angels, but men, are employed in the ministry of the word, which is the ordinary means of spiritual knowledge, and of increasing it.

- Acts 10:6
He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
Commentary on Acts 10:62 voices
"He is staying with a certain Simon, a tanner." So that they would not go to someone else, he identifies this man not only by name but also by the place where he is: "whose house is by the sea." The Apostles chose places far …
