מַצֵּבָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=not set_up to/for=yourself(m) stone_pillar which/who hates YHWH God_of,your )

The word pillar represents pillars for idols in general, not one particular pillar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [any pillars]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

מַצֵּבָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׂנֵ֖א יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=not set_up to/for=yourself(m) stone_pillar which/who hates YHWH God_of,your )

Moses is not distinguishing this pillar, which Yahweh your God hates from other pillars used for idol worship that Yahweh does not hate. He is stating that Yahweh hates all idol worship. Be sure that this is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: [a pillar because Yahweh your God hates those]
