Genesis 31:33-42

33So LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and into Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and into the tentH168 of the twoH8147 slaveH519 womenH519, but he did not findH4672 them. Then he wentH3318 outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168 and enteredH935 Rachel’sH7354 tentH168. 34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the 1householdH8655 idolsH8655 and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 saddlebagH3733, and she satH3427 on them. So LabanH3837 searchedH4959 throughH4959 allH3605 the tentH168, but did not findH4672 them. 35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, “May my lordH113 not beH2734 angryH2734 that I cannotH3201H3808 2standH6965 in your presenceH4480H6440, becauseH3588 the 3wayH1870 of womenH802 is upon me.” So he searchedH2664 but did not findH4672 the 45householdH8655 idolsH8655.

36Then JacobH3290 becameH2734 angryH2734 and arguedH7378 with LabanH3837; and JacobH3290 saidH559 to LabanH3837, “WhatH4100 is my offenseH6588? WhatH4100 is my sinH2403 that you have hotlyH1814 pursuedH310H1814 me? 37ThoughH3588 you have searchedH4959 throughH4959 allH3605 my propertyH3627, whatH4100 have you foundH4672 of allH3605 your householdH1004 propertyH3627? SetH7760 it hereH3541 in frontH5048 of my relativesH251 and your relativesH251, so that they may decideH3198 betweenH996 the twoH8147 of us. 38For theseH2088 twentyH6242 yearsH8141 I have been with you; your ewesH7353 and your femaleH5795 goatsH5795 have not miscarriedH7921, norH3808 have I eatenH398 the ramsH352 of your flocksH6629. 39I did not even bringH935 to you that which was tornH2966 by wild animals; I tookH2398 the lossH2398 myselfH595. You demandedH1245 it of my handH3027 whether stolenH1589 by dayH3117 or stolenH1589 by nightH3915. 40This is how I was: by dayH3117 the 6heatH2721 consumedH398 me and the frostH7140 by nightH3915, and my sleepH8142 fledH5074 from my eyesH5869. 41For theseH2088 twentyH6242 yearsH8141 I have been in your houseH1004; 7I servedH5647 you fourteenH702H6240 yearsH8141 for your twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for your flockH6629, and you 8changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489. 42IfH3884 9the GodH430 of my fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 and the fearH6343 of IsaacH3327, hadH1961 not beenH1961 for me, surelyH3588 nowH6258 you would have sentH7971 me awayH7971 empty-handedH7387. 10GodH430 has seenH7200 my afflictionH6040 and the laborH3018 of my handsH3709, so He 11renderedH3198 judgmentH3198 lastH570 nightH570.”
