“What have you done?” Laban demanded of Jacob.“You’ve deceived me and carried away my daughters as if they were captives of war!
Why did you run away secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me so I could send you off with a celebration complete with singing, tambourines, and harps?
You didn’t even allow me to kiss my daughters and my grandchildren goodbye. You have acted foolishly!
I have the power to do you harm, but the God of your father told me last night,‘Be careful that you neither bless nor curse Jacob.’
Now I understand that you have gone away because you longed desperately for your father’s house. Yet why did you steal my gods?”
“I left secretly because I was afraid!” Jacob replied to Laban.“I thought you might take your daughters away from me by force.
Whoever has taken your gods will be put to death! In the presence of our relatives identify whatever is yours and take it.”(Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.)
