Genesis 31:33-42

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.

36And JacobH3290 was wroth, and chode with LabanH3837: and JacobH3290 answered and saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is my trespass? what is my sinH2403, that thou hast hotlyH1814 pursued after me? 37Whereas thou hast feltH4959 about all my stuff, what hast thou foundH4672 of all thy householdH1004 stuff? SetH7760 it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us twoH8147. 38These twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with thee; thy ewesH7353 and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the ramsH352 of thy flocksH6629 have I not eatenH398. 39That which was tornH2966 of beasts I broughtH935 not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my handH3027 didst thou requireH1245 it, whether stolenH1589 by dayH3117 or stolenH1589 by nightH3915. 40Thus I wasH1961; in the dayH3117 the drought consumedH398 me, and the frostH7140 by nightH3915; and my sleepH8142 fledH5074 from mine eyesH5869. 41These twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been in thy houseH1004; I servedH5647 thee fourteen yearsH8141 for thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for thy flockH6629: and thou hast changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times. 42Except the GodH430 of my fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the FearH6343 of IsaacH3327, had beenH1961 with me, surely nowH6258 hadst thou sentH7971 me awayH7971 emptyH7387. GodH430 hath seenH7200 mine affliction and the labor of my handsH3709, and rebuked thee yesternight.
