Genesis 31:30-35
30Now you have indeed gone away because you longed greatly for your father’s house; but why did you steal 1my gods?” 31Then Jacob replied to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force. 322The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our relatives 3point out what is yours 4among my belongings and take it for yourself.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two slave women, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent. 34Now Rachel had taken the 5household idols and put them in the camel’s saddlebag, and she sat on them. So Laban searched through all the tent, but did not find them. 35And she said to her father, “May my lord not be angry that I cannot 6stand in your presence, because the 7way of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the 89household idols.
