Even though Moses is speaking to all of the Israelites, yourself and other forms of you are singular from this verse to verse 21. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כָּל־תְּמוּנָ֔ה

all/each/any/every form

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of likeness, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “anything looking like something”
