Context — Laban Pursues Jacob
31“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
33So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
34Now Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing. 35Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched but could not find the household idols.Cross References

Genesis 31:33 Summary
In Genesis 31:33, Laban is searching for his stolen household idols, but he can't find them because Rachel has hidden them. This verse teaches us about the importance of honesty and trust in relationships, just like Jacob and Laban's story. We can learn from their example to be truthful and transparent with others, as seen in Proverbs 10:9, and to trust God's plan, even in difficult situations, as promised in Romans 8:28. By doing so, we can avoid conflict and division, and instead, experience peace and unity with others.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Laban search Jacob's and his wives' tents?
Laban searched the tents because Jacob had given him permission to search for his stolen household idols, as stated in Genesis 31:32, and Laban was determined to find them.
Did Laban have the right to search Jacob's family?
According to Genesis 31:32, Jacob had given Laban permission to search, but it can also be seen as an overstep of Laban's authority, highlighting the tension between the two men, as seen in Genesis 31:31.
What can we learn from Laban's actions in this verse?
Laban's actions show us the importance of trust and honesty in relationships, as emphasized in Proverbs 10:9, and how a lack of these qualities can lead to conflict and division, as seen in Genesis 31:33-35.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of Jacob and Laban?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the story of Jacob and Laban, as it highlights their strained relationship and sets the stage for their eventual parting, as seen in Genesis 31:36-55, and ultimately, Jacob's return to Canaan, as promised in Genesis 28:15.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be trying to hide or deceive others, and how can I come clean and be honest?
- How can I apply the principle of honesty and transparency in my relationships, just as Jacob and Laban's story teaches us?
- What are some idols or false gods that I may be harboring in my heart, and how can I surrender them to God, just as Rachel eventually had to surrender the stolen idols?
- How can I trust God's sovereignty in difficult situations, just as Jacob had to trust God's plan despite the tension with Laban?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 31:33
And Laban went into Jacob's tent,.... Into that first where he most suspected they were, being taken not out of value for them, but contempt of them; and into Leah's tent; and not Leah's tent next,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 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. Laban went into ... tents.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 31:33
The men and women’ s tents were distinct and separate. See 24:67.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 31:33
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. Ver. 33. And Laban went into Jacob’ s tent.] Hypocrites are suspicious of others better than themselves, and impudently inquisitive: Curiosi ad cognoscendam vitam alienam, desidiosi ad corrigendam suam; as Augustine hath it. Those that are most inquisitive about other men’ s manners, are most careless of their own.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 31:33
33. tent] Four tents are mentioned, one occupied by Jacob, one each by Leah and Rachel, and one by handmaidens. LXX renders by ïἶ ?êïí = “house.”
