Lalu ia mengembalikan seribu seratus keping perak itu kepada ibunya. Kemudian ibunya berkata: “Aku sungguh telah menguduskan perak ini bagi Yang Mahakekal, dari tanganku kepada anakku, untuk menjadikan patung pahatan dan patung tuangan. Maka sekarang aku akan mengembalikannya kepadamu.”
Rashi
He returned the eleven hundred silver pieces to his mother. He verbalized his intent to return it to her, hence, wherever it was, it reverted to her possession.
Rashi
I expressly consecrated the silver, from my hand to my son's. I resolved to deliver it from my hand to yours for the purpose of making an image and a molten figure. Give it to me now, so that I may return it from my hand to you. Some say that this woman was Delilah, since Scripture specifies eleven hundred pieces of silver9See above 16:5.. However, they are in error, as Michah preceded Shimshon by many years.10See Rashi, v.l. But the episodes are juxtaposed because of the corrupt silver, which was of equal value in each of the incidents. The silver inflicted injury in both cases.
