Genesis 31:32-34
International Standard Version
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.
34 Meanwhile, Rachel had taken the idols,[d] placed them inside the saddle of her camel, and sat on them. Laban searched through the whole tent, but found nothing.
