30
Now you have gone off because you long for your father-but why have you stolen my gods?"
Genesis 31:30 In-Context
28
You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.
29
I have the power to harm you; but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
30
Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father’s household. But why did you steal my gods?”
31
Jacob answered Laban, “I was afraid, because I thought you would take your daughters away from me by force.
32
But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself whether there is anything of yours here with me; and if so, take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods.
