For Israel
 
The dietary law was written for Israel. 'Is' means 'man'. 'El' means God, just as it did in 'Elohim'. The 'R' sound means 'revelation'. Israel means 'man joined to God by revelation'.
Jacob was called 'Israel' because God revealed himself through a dream [1], and by wrestling with him. [2] The Hebrews were called Israel because God revealed himself at the mountain. [3] You are called Israel because God has revealed himself to you through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Start page main narrative here:
The Hebrews did not understand the riddles. They just acted them out. The answers to the riddles come from Jesus and the cross. We can understand the message of the play by the cross. The law tells us about God, by showing us the teachers that he wants for us. We don't need to act it out too.
Since eating is a symbol for learning [1], each animal is a symbol of someone who teaches.
There are some people we should learn from, and some we should not. Benjamin Franklin said, "He who lies down with dogs, gets up with fleas." He used dogs as a symbol for people who behave poorly, and fleas as bad behaviors we might learn from them.
As we sit down to breakfast, we can eat the tasty bacon, think of pigs, and be reminded of what the riddle teaches us: that we should not learn (eat) from people who cannot tell if their own learning is good or bad. 
Meditate on the word of God
The clean animals are the ones the Hebrews were allowed to eat. They symbolize the people we should learn from.
The clean animals of the Bible are described as those who 'chew the cud'. The actual word 'gerah' means to 'pursue the revelation that was not understood'. The cow will eat something and regurgitate it, up to three times, to chew it again and again until everything is digested. If you are a clean animal, you learn from God's word, then you 'chew the cud', thinking about it over and over again. The symbol of the cow reminds us to learn from people who spend time meditating (or chewing) on God’s word.

The clean animals of the Bible are cows, sheep, goats and deer. These animals 'chew the cud'. They eat something and regurgitate it to chew it again and again until everything is digested. If you are a clean animal, you learn from God's word, then you 'chew the cud', thinking about it over and over again. The symbol of the cow, sheep, goat and deer reminds us to learn from people who spend time meditating (or chewing) on God’s word.

Discussion

Clean animals also walk on split hooves. These symbolize a 'separated walk' or life. The way you ‘walk' is a symbol for the way you live. If you have a separated life, you are living a life for God, separated from the things that distract us from God.

You learn to walk with God by meditating on his word. A good teacher is like this.

Discussion

Unclean animals

If an animal doesn't chew its cud and have a split hoof, it is unclean.

Some animals are unclean even if they chewed their cud because they do not have a split hoof. These are like the Scribes in the day of Jesus. They knew the Scriptures but it did not change the way they lived.

Others thought they had a split hoof, like the Pharisees who were the most religious people in the day. But their 'righteousness' was not based in the Scriptures that God gave them. They would make up and keep their own rules instead. They were self-righteous.

The Hebrews weren't allowed to eat unclean animals to remind us to avoid these types of teachers. When we eat 'unclean' animals, we remember the Hebrews and are reminded that the Word of God should change our lives. [1]
