Genesis 31:35-37
The Voice
Rachel (to her father): 35 Please don’t be angry that I cannot get up for you, sir, but I am in the midst of my “time of month.”
Rachel has learned the art of deception well from her father and her husband.
So Laban searched, but he did not find the household gods.
36 When Jacob saw that Laban’s search had come up empty, he became angry and confronted Laban.
Jacob: What is my offense? What have I done that is so wicked to make you pursue me like a common criminal? 37 You searched through all of my things, and what have you found that belonged to you? Whatever it is, set it down here between your family and mine, and they can decide whose it is.

36 Jacob was angry and took Laban to task. “What is my crime?” he asked Laban. “How have I wronged(D) you that you hunt me down?(E) 37 Now that you have searched through all my goods, what have you found that belongs to your household?(F) Put it here in front of your relatives(G) and mine, and let them judge between the two of us.(H)
