Commento su Giudici 17:3

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.

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.
