17:2-3 Micah’s mother was indulgent and idolatrous, yet she invoked the Lord’s name in both cursing and blessing.
• I heard you place a curse: The words uttered in curses and blessings were understood to have power, particularly if the speaker had the authority to utter such pronouncements (cp. Gen 27; Isa 55:11).
• 1,100 pieces: This same large number was given to Delilah (Judg 16:5). It was probably Micah’s mother’s life savings or dowry.
• The Lord bless you: Micah’s mother was hoping that the blessing would effectively neutralize her earlier curse.

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: Consecrating, I consecrate the silver to Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and,returned DOM thousand and,hundred the,pieces_of_silver to,mother,his and=she/it_said his/its=mother to_consecrate dedicate DOM the,silver to/for=YHWH from,hand,my for,son,my to,make carved_image and,cast_metal and=now give_~_back,it to/for=you(fs) )
The mother is repeating the verb consecrate in order to intensify her expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [I sincerely consecrate the silver to Yahweh]

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: from my hand to my son

The mother is using one part of herself, her hand, to mean all of herself in the act of giving. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I hereby give it to my son]

The pronoun it refers to the silver from which the idol would be made. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [I return that much of the silver to you]
