Genesis 31:32
“Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it." For Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen them.”
Verse in context — Genesis 31
Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father's house, but why have you stolen my gods?
Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, 'Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it." For Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen them.
Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn't find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt about all the tent, but didn't find them.
