Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} signals the definite object elef u-meʾah {אֶלֶף־וּמֵאָה | ʾelep̄ wəmēʾāh} “one thousand and one hundred,” where units follow thousands.
The definite noun ha-kesef {הַכֶּסֶף | hak-keseph} “the silver” is then directed by the dative le-immōw {לְאִמּוֹ | ləʾimmōw} “to his mother.”
