casting an image of a calf

The Hebrew in Deuteronomy 9:16 that is translated as «casting an image of a calf» or similar in English is translated in Kutu as «casting an image of a cow in gold,» since «metal and iron are the same (zuma) but gold is gold (zahabu),» so that the metal has to be specified if it’s not iron.» (Source: Pioneer Bible Translators, project-specific translation notes in Paratext)
