Genesis 31:30-35

30And nowH6258, though thou wouldest needs be goneH1980, because thou sore longedst after thy father’sH1 houseH1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolenH1589 my godsH430? 31And JacobH3290 answered and saidH559 to LabanH3837, Because I was afraidH3372: for I saidH559, LestH6435 thou shouldest take thy daughtersH1323 from me by force. 32With whomsoever thou findest thy godsH430, he shall not liveH2421: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and takeH3947 it to thee. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 not that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them.

33And LabanH3837 wentH3318 into Jacob’s tentH168, and into Leah’s tentH168, and into the tentH168 of the twoH8147 maid-servants; but he foundH4672 them not. And he wentH3318 out of Leah’s tentH168, and entered into Rachel’s tentH168. 34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the teraphimH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 saddle, and satH3427 upon them. And LabanH3837 feltH4959 about all the tentH168, but foundH4672 them not. 35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, Let not my lordH113 be angryH2734 that I cannot riseH6965 up before thee; for the manner of womenH802 is upon me. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 not the teraphimH8655.
