Génesis 31:33 Meaning and Commentary

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, whom next to Jacob he might suspect of taking them, out of veneration to them, because her tent lay next: and into the two maidservants' tents:
Bilhah and Zilpah; or "the" tent of them; for the word is singular, and perhaps they had but one tent for them both, which distinguished them from the principal wives: but he found [them] not;
in neither of these tents: then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent;
which he went into last of all, as least suspecting her, being less addicted to the superstition and idolatry of his family than Leah and the maidservants: Aben Ezra thinks that he was twice in Leah's tent, and at the last time came out of that into Rachel's; and that Jacob's tent lay between Leah's and Rachel's. From this account it more clearly appears that men and their wives had separate tents or apartments; see ( Genesis 24:67 ) .

Génesis 31:33 In-Context

31 Jacob le respondi贸:鈥擫a verdad es que me entr贸 mucho miedo, porque pens茅 que podr铆as quitarme a tus hijas por la fuerza.
32 Pero si encuentras tus dioses en poder de alguno de los que est谩n aqu铆, tal persona no quedar谩 con vida. Pongo a nuestros parientes como testigos: busca lo que sea tuyo, y ll茅vatelo.Pero Jacob no sab铆a que Raquel se hab铆a robado los 铆dolos de Lab谩n,
33 as铆 que Lab谩n entr贸 en la carpa de Jacob, luego en la de Lea y en la de las dos criadas, pero no encontr贸 lo que buscaba. Cuando sali贸 de la carpa de Lea, entr贸 en la de Raquel.
34 Pero Raquel, luego de tomar los 铆dolos y esconderlos bajo la montura del camello, se sent贸 sobre ellos. Lab谩n los busc贸 por toda la carpa, pero no los encontr贸.
35 Entonces Raquel le dijo a su padre:鈥擯or favor, no se enoje mi padre si no puedo levantarme ante usted, pero es que estoy en mi per铆odo de menstruaci贸n.Lab谩n busc贸 los 铆dolos, pero no logr贸 encontrarlos.
