Genesis 31:32-34
New King James Version
32 With whomever you find your gods, (A)do not let him live. In the presence of our brethren, identify what I have of yours and take it with you.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the two maids’ tents, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken the [a]household idols, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. And Laban [b]searched all about the tent but did not find them.

New International Version
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.
