Exegesis
The transactional clause ettenlekha {אֶתֶּן־לְךָ | ʾet-ten-lə-ḵā} ‘I will give you’ is followed by the idiomatic numeral phrase aseret keseph layamim {עֲשֶׂרת כֶּסֶף לַיָּמִים | ʿă-se-ret ke-se-ph la-yā-mîm} ‘ten pieces of silver each year’.
In context — Judges 17:10
And Micah said to him, “Dwell with me and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver each year, a set of clothing and your sustenance.” And the Levite went.
