It's perhaps worth noting, as a matter of interest, that the Greek word used in the NT can mean both "camel" OR "camel hair", and that the author almost certainly meant "camel hair", which is very thick and wiry and hence virtually impossible to thread through a needle. But since the phrase with "camel" has become such a well-known expression, I suspect that my linguistic criticism isn't going to influence many Bible translators
