27 Why did you flee away secretly, and steal from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, with tambourine, and with harp?
28 And have not allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters? you have now done foolishly in so doing.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke unto me last night, saying, Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 And now, though you would wish to be gone, because you greatly longed after your father's house, yet why have you stolen my gods?
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Perhaps you would take by force your daughters from me.
32 With whomever you find your gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern what is yours with me, and take it to you. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
