## Genesis 31:36-37 in Context (Verses 33–40 KJV)
 
 [33 ](/kjv/genesis/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.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/genesis/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.*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/genesis/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.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/genesis/31/36) ¶ And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What *is* my trespass? what *is* my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
 
 [37 ](/kjv/genesis/31/37) Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set *it* here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.*
 
 [38 ](/kjv/genesis/31/38) This twenty years *have* I *been* with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/genesis/31/39) That which was torn *of beasts* I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, *whether* stolen by day, or stolen by night.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/genesis/31/40) *Thus* I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
