Exegesis
The clause wə-hikrattî {וְהִכְרַתִּי | wəhikrattî} ‘and I will cut off’ links the divine decree to its effect: ʾôtô {אֹתוֹ | ʾôtô} ‘him’ from mikkerev ʿammô {מִקֶּרֶב עַמּוֹ | miqqerēḇ ʿammô} ‘from the midst of his people’.
In context — Leviticus 20:3
I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from the midst of his people because he gave some of his offspring to Molekh to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.
