Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) do not provoke him with the work of your hands

(Some words not found in UHB: and,do_not go after ʼElohīm other to,serve,them and,to,bow_down to/for=them and=not provoke_~_to_anger ,me by,the_work_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) and=not do_~_harm to,you(pl) )

The word “him” refers to Yahweh. Here, the phrase the work of your hands could mean: (1) it is a reference to the idols that the people have made with their hands. Alternate translation: [do not provoke Yahweh with the idols that you have made] or (2) It is an idiom that refers to the actions of a person, with the word “hands” being a synecdoche that represents the person who does those actions. Alternate translation: [do not provoke Yahweh by the things that you do] (See also: figs-synecdoche and figs-idiom)
