halacha - Are there two things from which kares can cut one off?


In B'midbar 19:13 the Torah says that the punishment for entering the mikdash while impure is spiritual excision, using the words



וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל. . .



. . .that nefesh shall be cut off from Israel



and then in 19:20 it gives the punishment using the phrase



וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִתּוֹךְ הַקָּהָל. . .


. . .that nefesh shall be cut off from amid the collective



.


Are there two types of kares which are differentiated by the body from which one is cut off as a result? Rash"i, Malbim, and some other likely candidates don't appear to ask this.
