And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 17 of Judges. Micah confesses to his mother that he took a large amount of silver and returns it. His mother dedicates part of the money to the Lord, but later an image is made. Micah also establishes a household of gods and an ephod and appoints one of his sons as priest. The narrator summarizes the situation by stating that there was no king in Israel and everyone did what seemed right in his own eyes. Domestic religion thus appears separated from obedience to the law.

Der sprach zu seiner Mutter: Die tausendundhundert Silberlinge, die dir genommen worden sind und derenthalben du den Fluch gesprochen und auch vor meinen Ohren gesagt hast, sieh, das Geld ist bei mir; ich habe es genommen. Da sprach sein Mutter: Gesegnet sei mein Sohn dem HERRN!
El cual dijo a su madre: Los mil y cien siclos de plata que te fueron hurtados, por lo que tú maldecías oyéndolo yo, he aquí que yo tengo este dinero: yo lo había tomado. Entonces la madre dijo: Bendito seas de Jehová, hijo mío.
Le dijo a su madre: «Los doce kilos y medio de plata, aproximadamente, que te quitaron y por los que pronunciaste una maldición, que también escuché, están conmigo. Yo los tomé». Su madre respondió: «¡Jehová te bendiga, hijo mío!».
Il dit à sa mère: Les mille et cent sicles d'argent qu'on t'a pris, et pour lesquels tu as fait des imprécations même à mes oreilles, voici, cet argent est entre mes mains, c'est moi qui l'avais pris. Et sa mère dit: Béni soit mon fils par l'Eternel!
Ed esso disse a sua madre: I mille e cento sicli d’argento che ti erano stati tolti, per li quali tu scongiurasti con maledizioni, le quali eziandio tu proferisti in mia presenza; ecco, sono appresso di me; io li avea presi. E sua madre gli disse: Benedetto sia il mio figliuolo appo il Signore.
O qual disse à sua mãe: As mil e cem moedas de prata que te foram tiradas, por cuja causa lançaste maldições, e de que também me falaste, eis que esse dinheiro está comigo; eu o tomei. Então lhe disse sua mãe: Bendito do SENHOR seja meu filho.
他對母親說:「你的一千一百塊銀子被人拿走了,為此你發咒起誓,也說給我聽。看哪,銀子在我這裏,是我拿的。」他母親說:「願我兒蒙耶和華賜福!」
