The Meaning of 'Cut Off'
Commentators explain that being 'cut off from among their people' was a severe, multi-faceted punishment. It meant an immediate loss of one's status and privileges within God's covenant community. Scholars note this could be enacted through excommunication, punishment by the magistrate, or, if the sin was hidden, direct judgment from God Himself.
