34Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.
35And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.
36Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
37Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.
38These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.
39Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.
40This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.
