Exegesis
The construction hanefesh hahi {הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא | han-ne-peš ha-hîʾ} ‘that soul’ personalizes the offender, and the prepositional phrase meamha {מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ | me-ʿammā-hā} ‘from her people’ locates the exclusion within the covenant community. This structure preserves the formal legal tone while rendering clear causal and punitive relationships in English.
In context — Leviticus 19:8
And whoever eats it will bear his guilt , because he has profaned what is holy to the LORD ; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
