Genesis 31:30-32

The Voice

³⁰ Now you have left because you missed your father’s household—I can understand that—but why did you have to steal my family gods?

Jacob (answering Laban): ³¹ I left because I was afraid, and because I thought you would take your daughters away from me by force. ³² But I pledge to you that anyone who stole your gods will not live. I certainly did not take them. Here in the presence of all of our relatives, search the camp and let’s see if anything I have is yours. If there is, you can take it back!
