Genesis 31:19
31:19 While Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father.
Genesis 31:30
31:30 Now I understand that
you have gone away
because you longed desperately
for your father’s house. Yet why did you steal my gods?”
Genesis 31:32
31:32 Whoever has taken your gods will be put to death!
In the presence of our relatives
identify whatever is yours and take it.”
(Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.)
Genesis 31:35
31:35 Rachel
said to her father, “Don’t be angry,
my lord. I cannot stand up
in your presence because I am having my period.”
So he searched thoroughly,
but did not find the idols.
