Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Some Foods Were Made Unlawful for the Jews Because of their Injustice and WrongdoingAllah states that because of the injustice and transgression of the Jews, demonstrated by committing major sins, He prohibited some of the lawful, pure things which were previously allowed for them. This prohibition could be only that of decree, meaning that Allah allowed the Jews to falsely interpret their Book and change and alter the information about what was allowed for them.
