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.

5303. Verses 37-40 And the thing was good in Pharaoh's eyes and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants, Shall we find a man like this, in whom is the spirit of God? And Pharaoh said to Joseph, After God has caused you to know all this, no one has intelligence and wisdom like you. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall kiss you on the mouth; only in the throne will I be great, more than you.

'And the thing was good in Pharaoh's eyes' means that the natural was well-pleased. 'And in the eyes of all his servants' means that everything in the natural was well-pleased. 'And Pharaoh said to his servants' means the perception of the natural and of everything in it. 'Shall we find a man like this, in whom is the spirit of God?' means regarding an influx of truth containing good received from within, and so containing the celestial of the spiritual. 'And Pharaoh said to Joseph' means a perception present in the natural but received from the celestial of the spiritual. 'After God has caused you to know all this' means for the reason that Foresight and Providence belong to that celestial of the spiritual. 'No one has intelligence and wisdom like you' means that this alone is the source of truth and good. 'You shall be over my house' means that the natural mind shall be made subordinate and submissive to it. 'And all my people shall kiss you on the mouth' means that everything there shall obey it. 'Only in the throne will I be great, more than you' means that the natural will be seen as sovereign, because the celestial of the spiritual acts through the natural.
