Symbols
In order to hide a second story in the history of his people, God had to use symbols. [1] [2]
When you look at a picture of an apple, you know that it isn't an apple but just a symbol of an apple. It is something to make you think about apples.
Words are also symbols. The word 'dog' is not a dog. It is just a symbol to make you think of dogs. Words can be used as symbols of other words.
When you are told to 'hop in the car', do you really hop all the way to the car and jump in? I don't think you do that. The word 'hop' is used as s symbol to mean 'get in'. Why would we use 'hop' instead of 'get in'?
"Get in" sounds bossy. Parents really don't like to boss you around. To be just a little playful, they would say 'hop in'. We also use symbols in jokes and riddles.
You’ve heard the joke: Why did the chicken cross the road? The answer is "To get to the other side". But if we look deeper into the symbol of the riddle, ”the other side" is a symbol for going to heaven. Then whenever we see a chicken, we think of the real answer of the riddle: chickens remind us of going ot heaven. This is similar to how God taught his people. 
The dietary law is not about eating
The dietary law is not about eating
God gave the Hebrews a number of laws telling them how to live. Some of these laws told Israel what to eat and what not to eat (dietary laws). These laws were to be used as a script for a play. [1] They would act out the play, and the audience, everyone else, would learn from it. The play is written in symbols and riddle. As a part of his law, God ordained priests to teach his people. The priests were to teach people how to be holy in imitation of God. The priests taught the Hebrews to eat the clean things—the things that holy people could eat— and to avoid the unclean things that would divide them from God. In this way, Israel would act out the play that would show others what kind of people they should be and follow.
