[The first interpretation]

He said: He had taken a covenant from them regarding the table when it descended: that they should eat and not store anything. So they were turned into swine when they stored (it) and acted treacherously. That is the meaning of His saying, the Exalted: "So whoever disbelieves after that from among you, then I will punish him with a punishment with which I do not punish anyone among the worlds."

So that is His saying: "And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses."
