Some of these laws told them what to eat and what not to eat. These are called the dietary laws.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers

When the Hebrews followed these laws, they show us the character of God in a riddle. So the dietary law is not about eating. It is more like a play. The laws were the script for the play, and everyone had a role. ^[1] God chose priests to be the directors of the play, telling everyone how to do their part.

Each of these animals is a symbol for a different type of teacher. The clean animals (the ones the Hebrews could eat) symbolize the people we should learn from. The unclean animals (the animals the Hebrews were not supposed to eat) symbolize those who teach things that God doesn't want you to learn.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers

This isn’t the first time that eating symbolized learning in the Bible. Remember Adam and Eve and the tree they were not supposed to eat from? ^[1] You could say that the tree was unclean.
