God wants everyone to know him. So he made the world. [1] Everything he made is designed to teach about him. [2] It is difficult for us to learn about God from stars and stones. We learn easier through word and actions. | |||
He chose some people to teach us about him, but they didn't know what to say, since they did not know him very well themselves. So God used them like actors in a play. Their lives became a parable for all of us to learn about God. [3] In the play we learn from rocks and stars through what is said about rocks and stars. | |||
[A star says] star ''kowkab'' כוכב - Son of God כ explaining ו the revelation of God ר by becoming man כ and teaching man ב. | |||
[A stone says] stone ''aben'' אבן - father ''ab'' אב and son ''ben'' בן | |||
God hid lessons for us in teh history of Israel. In this book we will look at things that they were allowed to eat and not eat and see what they teach us about God. | |||

The first section of the Bible contains many laws that God gave he Hebrews telling them how to live. Some of these laws told them what to eat and what not to eat. These are called the dietary laws. | |||
When the Hebrews followed these laws, they showed 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. God chose priests to be directors of the play, telling everyone how to play their part. |
