Arcana Coelestia # 7889
7889. 'That soul shall be cut off from Israel' means that he will be separated from those belonging to the spiritual Church, and that he will be damned. This is clear from the meaning of 'being cut off' as being separated and also as being damned; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with often. The reason why anyone who has falsity in his good will be separated and will be damned is that falsity - meant by 'anything made with yeast' - within good renders that good such that it cannot help receiving evil from the hells that inflict damnation. For when [those belonging to the spiritual Church] are to be delivered from the ones who have molested them, damnation will enter in from every side; and those who are governed by genuine good, which is good devoid of falsity, will pass unharmed through the midst of the damnation, see above in 7878.
Exodus 11
1
Yahweh said to Moses, "Yet one plague more will I bring on Pharaoh, and on Egypt; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
3
Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
4
Moses said, "This is what Yahweh says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt,
5
and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of livestock.
6
There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
7
But against any of the children of Israel a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that Yahweh makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
8
All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, "Get out, with all the people who follow you;" and after that I will go out.'" He went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
9
Yahweh said to Moses, "Pharaoh won't listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
10
Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Israel go out of his land.
