Exegesis
The vav consecutive with the Nifal perfect venikhreta {וְנִכְרְתָה | wə-niḵ-re-tâ} ‘and be cut off’ marks the apodosis and covenantal penalty.
In context — Numbers 19:20
And any man who becomes unclean and does not purify himself shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD ; the water of impurity was not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
