Did Jacob make unlawful lawful food?

Did Jacob make unlawful lawful food?

3:93 All food was lawful for the Children of Israel except what Israel made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful." 3:94 Then whoever fabricates a lie about Allah after that, then those are the wrongdoers.

(In Verse 3:93, “what Israel made unlawful” refers to “ what Children of Israel made unlawful”, so it does not refer to “Jacob making food unlawful”, because “Children of Israel” had been previously mentioned in the same sentence, so it is shortened as “Israel”. The next Verse (3:94) confirms that “Israel” refers to “Children of Israel”, because it says, “whoever fabricates a lie about Allah after that” (after bringing the Torah and reciting it), so Israel / Jacob didn’t fabricate a lie, but Children of Israel did, in regard to making unlawful to themselves the food that was lawful. This interpretation is also supported by all Verses of the Qur’an in which the word “Israel” is mentioned, because it comes together with “Children”, so it is mentioned as “Children of Israel”, except Verse 19:58, which uses the word descendants (of Israel), instead of “Children” (of Israel), but the root of “descendants” is “Thal-Ra-Ra”, and it also means “Children”, so it is not an exception)(On the other hand, the name “Jacob” is used in regard to the person / individual)(Verse 3:93 says that the food was made unlawful “before the Torah was revealed”, and “bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful”. One interpretation is that that which they made unlawful, the Torah doesn’t say that it is unlawful, so they have to follow the Torah, not what they fabricated. On the other hand, the Torah forbids some food, so not all food is lawful. “All food” refers to the “good things”, not “bad things” (e.g. poisonous creatures). This interpretation is confirmed by Verse 5:4 in which specifies that “lawful for you are the good things” (in regard to food))(The Verses of the Qur'an are not mutually exclusive but complement each other)(Allah knows best)

16:114 So eat of what Allah has provided you lawful and good. And be grateful for the Favor of Allah, if Him Alone you worship. 16:115 He has only forbidden to you dead animal, and the blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But if one is forced - without being disobedient, nor a transgressor - then indeed, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 16:116 And do not say about what your tongues assert, a lie, "This is lawful and this is forbidden," so that you invent a lie about Allah. Indeed, those who invent a lie about Allah, they will not succeed.

(Even today, their racist and xenophobic religion made Jews to falsely prohibit “any food” that has been cooked or prepared completely by non-Jews (Source “Abodah Zarah”), while it is not said in the Torah, and, for example, Muslims have the same rules in regard to food (e.g. meat is only dedicated to God, blood is forbidden, swine is forbidden, etc.) so food prepared by Muslims should be allowed to them)(Allah knows best)
