Genesis 31:32-34
Contemporary English Version
32 If you find that any one of us has taken your idols, I'll have that person killed. Let your relatives be witnesses. Show me what belongs to you, and you can take it back.” Jacob did not realize that Rachel had stolen the household idols.
33 Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two servant women,[a] but did not find the idols. Then he went to Rachel's tent. 34 She had already hidden them in the cushion she used as a saddle and was sitting on it. Laban searched everywhere and did not find them.

32 But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live.(A) In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself whether there is anything of yours here with me; and if so, take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods.(B)
33 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent(C) and into the tent of the two female servants,(D) but he found nothing.(E) After he came out of Leah’s tent, he entered Rachel’s tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods(F) and put them inside her camel’s saddle(G) and was sitting on them. Laban searched(H) through everything in the tent but found nothing.
