Génesis 31:34 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:34

Now Rachel had taken the images
Hearing her father inquire about them, and her husband having given leave to search for them, and to put to death whoever should be found to have them, took them from the place where she had before laid them: and put them into the camel's furniture;
perhaps the camel's furniture she rode on, and therefore it was in her tent, which some understand of the saddle on which she rode; rather, it seems to be the saddle cloth or housing, in which she might wrap the images and put them under her clothes; though some interpret it of the straw or litter of the camel, which is not so probable: and sat upon them;
the images, which, if she had the veneration for, as some suggest, she would never have used in such a manner: and Laban searched all the tent, but found [them] not;
excepting the place where Rachel sat; but Aben Ezra thinks she was not in the tent, but in some place without it, and if so, there needs no exception.

Génesis 31:34 In-Context

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.
36 Entonces Jacob se enoj贸 con Lab谩n, e indignado le reclam贸:鈥斅縌u茅 crimen o pecado he cometido, para que me acoses de esta manera?
