Genesis 31:30-35

30And nowH6258, thoughH3588 thou wouldest needs be goneH1980, becauseH3588 thou sore longedst afterH3588 thy father’sH1 houseH1004, yet wherefore hast thou stolenH1589 my godsH430?

31And JacobH3290 answeredH559 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, BecauseH3588 I was afraidH3372: for I saidH559, LestH6435 thou shouldest takeH1497 thy daughtersH1323 from meH5973 by forceH1497.

32With whomsoever thou findest thy godsH430, he shall notH3808 liveH2421: beforeH5048 our brethrenH251 discernH3045 thou whatH4100 is thine with meH5978, and takeH3947 it to thee. For JacobH3290 knewH3045 notH3808 that RachelH7354 had stolenH1589 them.

33And LabanH3837 wentH3318 intoH935 Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and intoH935 Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and intoH935 the tentH168 of the twoH8147 maidservants; but he foundH4672 them notH3808. And he wentH3318 outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and enteredH935 intoH935 Rachel’sH7354 tentH168.

34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the teraphimH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 furniture, and satH3427 uponH5921 them. And LabanH3837 feltH4959 aboutH5921 allH3605 the tentH168, but foundH4672 them notH3808.

35And sheH3588 saidH559 to herH413 fatherH1, LetH408 notH3808 my lordH113 be angryH2734 that I cannotH3808 riseH6965 upH6965 beforeH6440 thee; for the mannerH1870 of womenH802 is uponH413 meH413. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 notH3808 the teraphimH8655.
