Swine Pigs are also unclean. Swine eat, or learn, anything, and teach it as truth. For example, some people say their favorite verse of the Bible is "God helps those who help themselves". That isn't in the Bible.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers
The swine is a symbol of the self-righteous; people who think they are good just because they think they are good. They think their own ideas, or whatever new ideas they hear, are true.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers
Swine pass off new teachings from others as if they are from the Bible. They hear from others that there are errors in the Bible. They pass it on as truth to make themselves look clever. Teachers may learn things from scientific theories and pass them on as absolute truth. One thing is absolutely true in science: what it says is true today, will not be true tomorrow. They may read the Bible and not understand it. They will teach their error as truth. When faced with things that appear to be opposite teachings in the Bible, they just choose one and ignore the other, rather than work to understand they are both true. The one who cannot understand the word of God is not a good teacher.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers

More Swine The attitude of the swine-like teacher is so contagious it is dangerous. God’s law to the Hebrews about the swine was that they should not even 'touch their dead bodies'.

Fish Water is a symbol the word of God, so the clean fish represents the teacher who moves with fins or lives in the Word of God. The Hebrew word for 'fish' means 'commanded to pursue'.

Summary All of these animals are on the stage and part of the play. Though the actors had to follow the rules for eating or not eating them, we may eat them all as we remember what they teach. When we eat beef, lamb or deer we are reminded to meditate on God's word, and let it change the way we live. If we eat a camel we remember not to judge. Should we eat a coney we would remember to share about God's love for us through the cross. The BBQ'd rabbit would remind us to be dedicated to God and not mix up others things in our worship. As we eat bacon, mmm... bacon... We remember to be discerning in the things we learn. Fried fish reminds us to seek God in His word and let it change our lives. As students, we learn to be like the good teachers, and avoid being like the bad ones.

Appendix A Introduction The basis for this study is a first century hermeneutic demonstrated by the New Testament authors as they used Old Testament references, and an observable property of the Hebrew language called 'notarikon'. Notarikon is an attribute of the Hebrew language where words get their meanings from the combined meaning of the letters, and letters get their meaning from the dots (yods or jots) and strokes (vavs or tittles). John demonstrates a fluency in notarikon which is missed when the Septuagint is used instead of the original Hebrew texts. It can be demonstrated that John 1:1-4 is derived using these tools from the first three words of Genesis 1:1. Also that John used the notarikon to unpack 1Jo 5:7-8 from the words for 'heaven' and 'earth'. Notarikon is used to unpack the meaning of the names of the animals. This is not free-for-all allegory. Examples of animal behavior which may have caused Adam to name the animals thusly are plausible explanations, but not considered 'Bible truth'. The names are used to show why a person represented by the animal would be a good teacher or not. This thesis challenges the common academic acceptance that Paleo-Hebrew is the oldest form of written text and supports the Wiseman hypothesis which suggests that Genesis was written by eye-witnesses. This will be discussed in future works.
