God gave the Hebrews a number of laws telling them how to live.  
{{:ELTB 2.0306 }}
}}
{{:ELTB 2.0307 }}
{{3cr|Some of these laws told Israel what to eat and what not to eat (dietary laws).  
{{:ELTB 2.0308 }}
}}
{{:ELTB 2.0309 }}
{{3cr|These laws were to be used as a script for a play.  
}}
{{3cr| They would act out the play, and the audience, everyone else, would learn from it.  
}}
{{3cr|
The play is written in symbols and riddle.  
}}
{{3cr|
God chose priests to keep the actors in line with the script.
}}
{{3cr|
The priests were also actors.
<ref group="n">Their robes are called "costumes" or "garments of deceit" so that we didn't think they were the real priest (Jesus)</ref>
Nothing the priests or the actors did made them good people.
}}
{{3cr|
The script only told them that they were not good and only God was good.
}}
{{3cr|
For us in the audience, the dietary law  says nothing about what we can eat.  
}}
{{3cr|Instead, eating is a symbol for learning what God says. It tells us who we should learn from, and who we should not learn from.
}}
{{3cr|Each of these animals is a symbol for a different type of teacher. Unlocking the riddle of the dietary laws leads to understanding what the kinds of teachers the animals represent.
}}
{{3cr|Since the scriptures all speak of Christ, the animals all represent Christ. Some represent him as the good teacher. Others represent him bearing the sins of the bad teacher.
