A: The pig symbolizes the hypocrisy of one who hides behind a false facade of purity (its hoofs are split) together with internal impurity (it does not chew its cud). In some ways it has a human appearance (its flesh is similar to human flesh) but it is not human (and it is immoral). A Noahide who wishes to abide by the prohibition of eating pork is allowed to do so.
