Exegesis
The vav-consecutive nifal in ve-nikhr’ta hanefesh hahi {וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא | wə-nikhrəṯā han-nefeš hā-hîʾ} ‘and was cut off that soul’ marks the penalty.
In context — Numbers 19:13
Every person who touches a corpse without purifying himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD ; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel because the water of impurity was not sprinkled on him. He will remain unclean, for his uncleanness is still upon him.
