Genesis 31:30-35

30And now, though thou wouldest needsH1980 be goneH1980, because thou soreH3700 longedstH3700 after thy father’sH1 houseH1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolenH1589 my godsH430?

31And JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, Because I was afraidH3372: for I saidH559, PeradventureH6435 thou wouldest take by forceH1497 thy daughtersH1323 from me.

32With whomsoeverH834 thou findestH4672 thy godsH430, let him not liveH2421: beforeH5048 our brethrenH251 discernH5234 thou what is thine with me, and takeH3947 it to thee. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 not that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them.

33And LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and into Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and into the twoH8147 maidservants’H519 tentsH168; but he foundH4672 them not. Then went he outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and enteredH935 into Rachel’sH7354 tentH168.

34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the imagesH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 furnitureH3733, and satH3427 upon them. And LabanH3837 searchedH4959 all the tentH168, but foundH4672 them not.1

35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, Let it not displeaseH5869H2734 my lordH113 that I cannotH3201 rise upH6965 before theeH6440; for the customH1870 of womenH802 is upon me. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 not the imagesH8655.
