Deuteronomy
The Book of Deuteronomy contains mostly Biblical laws, many also repeated in Leviticus. I have only decrypted a small part so far, the laws about not “eating” certain animals: They all say that people with morals cannot be “entrusted” with authority, and that only lickspittle sycophants can be entrusted!
Introduction
Deuteronomy & Leviticus contain many “eating” laws with lengthy lists of arbitrary animals that are forbidden to eat. The main pun in these “eating” laws is that lˀ t-ˀkl “shall not eat” puns wih lˀ tkl “do not entrust”. The lists are actually enumerations of character traits that make subordinates unfit to be entrusted.
In the eyes of the spook aristocrats, only people with negative traits should be entrusted with power. Positive traits are forbidden, because aristocratic power is based on injustice & corruption. Entrusted subordinates are supposed to help subjugate the other subjects, and any morality would simply stand in the way. This explains very well why “civilization” became the quagmire it is today.
The most important animal puns are these:
- The šwr “ox” is allowed, because it puns with swr “corruption”, introducing the general theme. 🡻
- The gml “camel” is forbidden, because it puns with gml “kindness”. 🡻
- The ˀrnb “hare” is forbidden, because it puns with nbr “honesty”. 🡻
- The špn “rock-badger” is forbidden, because it puns with spn “respectful”. 🡻
- The ḥzyr “pig” is forbidden, because it puns with ḥzr “repentant”. 🡻
- Fish with snpyr “fins” are allowed, because they pun with šprnˀ “lickspittle”. 🡻
- Generally, ṣpr “birds” are allowed, because they also pun with šprˀ “lickspittle”. 🡻
- Various individual birds are forbidden, because they again pun with positive character traits: The nšr “eagle” puns with nṣr “observant”, 🡻 the rˀh “glede” puns with rˀh “perceptive”, 🡻 the ˁrb “raven” puns with ˁrb “responsible”. 🡻 This long bird list is extremely cryptic and I may have guessed some of them wrong, but you get the drift: Any morality is forbidden!

Entrusting corrupt servants
Do not entrust the subjects, except corrupt ones.
The main pun of eating laws is t-ˀkl “shall eat” with tkl “entrust”. It seems the “clean” animals pun with various ways of corruptness, which make commoners “fit” to be entrusted as subordinate leaders, by the ultra-corrupt spook rulers.
By contrast, the face-value laws seem arbitrary, and there’s no reason given at all why this is “good” and that is “bad”.
Deuteronomy 14:3
Here, the tˁb “abhorred animals” stand for “the people”. Meaning-wise, the best pun is Arabic tˀbˁ for “subjects”, but Aramaic tbˁ for “follower” is still close. The pan-Semitic root is tbˁ for “demanding”.

Deuteronomy 14:6
The original here reads “split the split and split the split in two splits”, so it must be some pun.
Encrypted: And every dumb leader servant who is separated & aloof clearly & distinctively, and who is smooth-talking to the people seducing them through division, and who will betray the other inferiors among the dumb servants, in him you may confide.

Do not entrust merciful, honest or respectful persons.
The “unclean” animals by contrast seem to pun with certain morals, which make commoners “unfit” to be entrusted as leaders. Note especially the extra law not to eat “rock badgers”, which should make clear that this text must be an encryption.
Deuteronomy 14:7
Here, camels are actually cloven-hoofed (and ruminants), yet are still considered “unclean”. The law is self-contradictory on top of having no apparent motive. Only the puns make sense.
Encrypted: Nevertheless, in these do NOT confide, even though they are distinguished from the other inferiors, or though they are separated clearly from the people: the kind & merciful, the honest & innocent, and the respectful & caring; for distinguished among the inferiors are they, but separated from them not clearly, so too assimilated to the people they are for you.
Official: Nevertheless, these do NOT eat, even though they chew up the cud or though they have cloven hooves the cloven: the camel, the hare and the rock badger for chew the cud do they, but their hooves are not cloven, so unclean they are for you.

Do not entrust reflective & repentant persons.
The ḥzyr “pig” puns with ḥzr “returning things”, which has many positive derived meanings such as “reflect”, “reconsider”, “repent”, “restore”. It’s hard to tell what they mean here, but it’s clearly out of the question that spook aristocrats would ever entrust persons with any of these qualities. For a discussion, see the pig article.
Deuteronomy 14:8
Encrypted: And also not the reflective, regretful & repentant, because although distinguished clearly he is, but not will he attack the others, so too assimilated he is for you. In his explanations do not trust, his foolish ideas should not concern you.
Official: And also not the swine, because although cloven hooves it has, but not does it chew cud, so unclean it is for you. Its flesh do not eat, and its carcass do not touch.

Do not entrust watchful & responsible persons.
The many strange bird names are hard to decrypt. Even mainstream translators struggle to guess which birds are meant. The common denominator seems to be that the names all pun with various ways of correctness, which is forbidden for people entrusted with power.
The pun for the positive law seems to be ṣpr “birds” punning with šprˀ “sycophants” (similar to the “fins” in 14:9).
