29. I have the power to do you harm, but last night the God of your father warned me not to threaten you in any way.
30. I know that you left because you were so anxious to get back home, but why did you steal my household gods?”
31. Jacob answered, “I was afraid, because I thought that you might take your daughters away from me.
32. But if you find that anyone here has your gods, he will be put to death. Here, with our men as witnesses, look for anything that belongs to you and take what is yours.” Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen Laban's gods.
33. Laban went and searched Jacob's tent; then he went into Leah's tent, and the tent of the two slave women, but he did not find his gods. Then he went into Rachel's tent.
34. Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on them. Laban searched through the whole tent, but did not find them.
