Genesis 31:31-33
Complete Jewish Bible
31 Ya‘akov answered Lavan, “Because I was afraid. I said, ‘Suppose you take your daughters away from me by force?’ 32 But if you find your gods with someone, that person will not remain alive. So with our kinsmen to witness, if you spot anything that I have which belongs to you, take it back.” Ya‘akov did not know that Rachel had stolen them. 33 Lavan went into Ya‘akov’s tent, then into Le’ah’s tent and into the tent of the two slave-girls; but he did not find them. He left Le’ah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.

Genesis 31:31-33
New International Version
31 Jacob answered Laban, “I was afraid, because I thought you would take your daughters away from me by force.(A) 32 But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live.(B) 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.(C)
33 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent(D) and into the tent of the two female servants,(E) but he found nothing.(F) After he came out of Leah’s tent, he entered Rachel’s tent.
