Exegesis
The construct mi-kerev ‘am-mô {מִקֶּרֶב עַמּוֹ | mi-qer-ev ‘am-mô} ‘from the midst of his people’ indicates communal removal. The formal translation preserves Hebrew word order for solemnity; the dynamic adapts to natural English.
In context — Leviticus 20:6
And the soul who turns to the mediums and the spiritists, to prostitute themselves after them, I will set my face against that soul and will cut it off from the midst of its people.
