any unclean thing
Something that Yahweh has stated is unfit to touch or eat is spoken of as if it were physically unclean. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
whether uncleanness of man, or of unclean beast
Here "man" means humans in general. AT: "whether of a person or a beast"
or of some unclean and disgusting thing
"or of some unclean thing that disgusts Yahweh"
that person must be cut off from his people
A person being excluded from his community is spoken of as if he had been cut off from his people, as one would cut a piece of cloth or cut a branch from a tree. This can be translated in active form. See how you translated this in Leviticus 7:20. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
