Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so all instances of "you" and "your" are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# you in all the work of your hand

The "work of your hand" refers to all the work they had done. AT: "all of your work" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
