Hmmm, "that soul shall be cut off from his people". That would seem to support what Pilgrim said about the physical, as opposed to the spiritual.
It also makes me think about Paul's writing in Romans 9, on how much he grieved for his kinsmen according to the flesh.

Yes, the people being the visible people of God -- the visible church. To not continue by the terms of the covenant will cost one his "standing" of being part of the people of God.
