UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם

work hands humankind

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe a work, as in an object, that is made by the hands of man. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe a man-made object. Alternate translation: “objects made by the hands of man”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יְדֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם

hands humankind

Moses is using hands to represent all of a person in the act of making an idol. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “mere men”
