OET-LV And_ YHWH _he/it_said to Gidˊōn is_too_numerous the_people which is_with_you for_giving_my DOM Midyān in_hand_of_their lest it_should_glorify_itself over_me Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_say hand_of_my_own it_has_delivered to/for_me.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh told Gid’on, “You’ve got too many warriors with you for me to give victory over the Midyanites, because what if Yisrael (Israel) takes the glory for themselves thinking that their own strength saved them.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Gidˊōn great//chief/captain the,people which/who [is]_with,you for,giving,my DOM Midyān in,hand_of,their lest boast over,me Yisrael to=say hand_of,my_own delivered to/for=me )
Here Yahweh is using the term hand in the sense of possession. The image is of someone holding something in his hand. That is, when Yahweh speaks of giving Midian into the hand of the Israelites, the idea is that the Israelites will conquer the Midianites, who will then become subject to them. Alternate translation: [for me to enable them to conquer the Midianites]

As the Introduction to this chapter discusses, since a group of people is in view here and in similar instances, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of hand. Alternate translation: [into their hands]

Here Yahweh is using the term hand more in the sense of power. The image is of someone doing something with his hand. That is, if the Israelites claimed that their hand had saved them, they would be saying that they had saved themselves by their own power. Alternate translation: [We Israelites have saved ourselves by our own power]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
