Verse160

(160) فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَبِصَدِّهِمْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَثِيرًا

160. " And for the injustice from those of the Jews We did forbid them those good things which had been made lawful for them (before), and for their much hindering (people) from the path of Allah."
Commentary:
Perhaps, the objective meaning of the good things that became forbidden for them is the same things which are mentioned in Sura Al-'An'am, No. 5, verse 146. It says: " And to those who were Jews We made unlawful every animal having claws, and of oxen and sheep ..." This very prohibition is also found in the present Turah. (Leviticus, Chapter 11)
Explanations:

Injustice is the preparation for deprivation from bounties. Sometimes, some economical deprivations and material straitened circumstances are sign sfor the wrath and retribution of Allah.
" And for the injustice from those of the Jews We did forbid them those good things which had been made lawful for them (before), ..."
Hindering people from the path of Allah, in any form it may be, (including: distortion, concealment, innovation, corruption, and deviation), is the cause of deprivation.
"... and for their much hindering (people) from the path of Allah."
In fact, the main punishments will be given in Hereafter, yet the worldly retributions are for awareness. They are as penalty for the evil doers and as trial for the good doers.
