What is the meaning of "Vehizartem es B'nei Yisrael "?

1.

Rashi, R. Bachye and Targum Yonasan: It means to warn Yisrael to separate 1 the men from Tum?ah ? by separating from their wives close to their Veses [period] ? Targum Yonasan) in order to avoid having relations with a Nidah ? R. Bachye. 2 3

Mo?ed Katan 5a: It hints at the obligation to mark graves. 4

Yerushalmi Horahyos 2:5: It means to warn Yisrael that, in the evnt that the woman becomes a Nidah during intimacy, her husband should not separate immediately, but wait until the Eiver Tashmish becomes limp.

Rashi: As in Bereishis 49:26 "N'zir Echav", and in Yeshayah, 1:4 "Nazoru Achor".

Moshav Zekenim citing Nidah 63b: For one Onah (twelve-hour period), either night or day, depending on when she normally sees. See also Torah Temimah note 123.

2)

Seeing as Tum'as Mikdash is Chayav Kareis (See Chukas, Bamidbar 19:13), why does the Torah write "ve'Lo Yamus" ?

1.

Rashi: Even though Tum'as Mikdash is subject to Kareis, the Torah refers to it as 'Misah'. 1

Even though Kareis includes the death of one's children, which Misah does not - See Sifsei Chachamim.
