The commentaries seem to be leaning that way; toward something which would cause a penalty of death, or physical death. Which is somewhat contrary to my belief that the Bible is always discussing spiritual stuff, even when it seems like it's talking about physical stuff? but, i've spent like 5 minutes here...
