he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;
Genesis 17:13
Arcana Coelestia # 2058
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.
