Exegesis
The niphal perfect ve-nikhrētu {וְנִכְרְתּוּ | wə-nikh-rē-tū} conveys a passive, judicial exclusion applied to shenehem {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šenêhem} “both of them” from mi-kerev ammam {מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּם | miqqēreḇ ʿammām}, aligning legal prescript with communal boundaries.
In context — Leviticus 20:18
And if a man lies with a woman who is menstruating, and he uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her source, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
