Cut off, to be

  

In Daniel 9:26, this signifies that divine truth shall be taken from the people, but will live again in a new church. (Apocalypse Explained 315[23])

In Genesis 17:14, this signifies eternal death. (Arcana Coelestia 2058)

In Exodus 23:23, this signifies that hell is removed solely through the protection of heaven by the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 9316) To be cut off, as in Genesis 41:36, signifies to perish.

2058. 'That soul will be cut off from his peoples' means eternal death. This is clear from the meaning of 'soul' as life, dealt with in 1000, 1040, , and from the meaning of 'peoples' as truths, dealt with in 1259, 1260. Thus 'peoples' means those whose lives are governed by truths, that is to say, who are angels. When 'a soul is cut off' from these he is condemned, that is, he perishes in eternal death.
