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 maid-servants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. 34 Now Rachel had taken h the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them.

And he searched, but found not the images. 36 And Jacob was wroth, I and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household-stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge n betwixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats nave not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39 That which was torn of beasts, I brought not unto thee, I bare the loss of it; q of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night 40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteent years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages v ten times. 42 Except u the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and x the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen my affliction, z and the labour of any hands, and rebuked a thee yesternight. 43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have borne ? 44 Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant, c I and thou; and let it be for a witness e between me and thee. 45 And Jacob took a stone, g and set it up for a pillar. 46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 47 And Laban called it 7 Jegar-saha dutha: but Jacob called it 8 Galeed. 48 And Laban said, This heap is a wit ness between me and thee this day.
