Exegesis
The silver is reintroduced with et, leading to the divine dative la-YHWH {לַיהוָה | la-YHWH} “to the LORD.”
In context — Judges 17:3
And he returned the one thousand one hundred pieces of silver to his mother. Then his mother said, “Dedicating I have dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son to make an image and a cast idol. Now I will return it to you.”
