The answer

Books of the Jews and Christians are not relied upon to prove or deny anything due to their distortion. The noble verse: "Say, 'If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you, to the exclusion of other people, then wish for death if you are truthful'" (Quran 2:94), is to be understood at its face value. Its interpretation is that Allah Almighty commanded the Jews to wish for death as a challenge to their claim that Paradise was exclusively theirs and that they were the children and beloved ones of Allah, but they did not do so.
