7907. 'For anyone eating anything made with yeast, that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel' means that whoever links falsity to his good is damned. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with in 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 4745, and so linking, 2187, for one who makes something his own links it to himself; from the meaning of 'that made with yeast' as falsity, dealt with immediately above in 7906; from the meaning of 'being cut off' as being separated and damned, dealt with in 7889; from the meaning of 'soul' as a person; and from the meaning of 'the assembly of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 7870, 7843. From these meanings it is evident that 'anyone eating anything made with yeast, that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel' means that whoever links falsity to his good will be separated from the spiritual Church and will be damned.

7843. 'And all the congregation of the assembly of Israel shall slaughter it' means preparation for enjoyment by all in general belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'slaughtering', when used in reference to the lamb or the she-goat for keeping the Passover, as preparation for enjoyment, the enjoyment of the good of innocence meant by the lamb and the she-goat; and from the meaning of 'all the congregation of the assembly of Israel' as by all in general belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with above in 7830. 'The congregation of the assembly' means the truths of good which those belonging to that Church possess; for 'congregation' is used with reference to truth, 6355, and 'assembly' with reference to good.
