So she replied, "May my son be blessed by the LORD." 3 Her son gave back the 1,100 silver coins to his mother, and she said, "I'm totally giving this silver from my hand to the LORD so my son can make a carved image and a cast image. So I'm returning it to you." 4 When he had returned the silver to his mother, his mother took 200 of the silver coins and handed them over to a silversmith.
