Genesis 31:31-33

International Standard Version

Laban Searches for His Idols

³¹ “I was afraid,” Jacob replied. “I thought you might take your daughters from me. ³² Now as to your gods, if you find someone has them in their possession, he’s a dead man.^[a] Take our relatives as witnesses, search through our belongings, and take whatever belongs to you that’s in my possession.” But Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen the idols.^{[b] 33} So Laban entered Jacob’s tent, Leah’s tent, and the tents of the two maid servants, but he didn’t find them.^[c] Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
