The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to
thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
GEN 31:33 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.
GEN 31:34 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.
GEN 31:35 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.
