01:031:019 And Laban went to shear his sheep:  and Rachel had stolen the
           images that were her father’s.

01:031:020 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he
           told him not that he fled.

01:031:021 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed
           over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.

01:031:022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

01:031:023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven
           days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.

01:031:024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said
           unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good
           or bad.

01:031:025 Then Laban overtook Jacob.  Now Jacob had pitched his tent in
           the mount:  and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of
           Gilead.

01:031:026 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast
           stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as
           captives taken with the sword?

01:031:027 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
           me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away
           with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?

01:031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
           thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.

01:031:029 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt:  but the God of
           your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed
           that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

01:031:030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore
           longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou
           stolen my gods?

01:031:031 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: 
           for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy
           daughters from me.

01:031:032 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: 
           before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and
           take it to thee.  For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen
           them.

01:031:033 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.

01:031:034 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s
           furniture, and sat upon them.  And Laban searched all the tent,
           but found them not.

01:031:035 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that
           I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon
           me.  And he searched but found not the images.
