Génesis 31:35 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 31:35

And she said to her father
As he approached nearer to her, having searched her tent all over: let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee:
she addresses him with great honour and respect; calling him her lord, being her father, though an unkind one, and entreats him not to be displeased that she did not rise up and yield that obeisance to him which was due from her to a father: for the custom of women [is] upon me;
her menstrues; which before the law of Moses were reckoned a pollution, and such persons were not to be touched or come near unto, and everything they sat upon was unclean, and not to be touched also; ( Leviticus 15:19-23 ) ; and he searched;
all about her, and around her; but did not oblige her to get up, nor could he imagine that ever the images could be under her in such circumstances: but found not the images;
and so left off searching; nor do we find that he searched the flock for any of his cattle there, knowing full well Jacob's honesty and integrity.

33 Y entr贸 Lab谩n en la tienda de Jacob, y en la tienda de Lea, y en la tienda de las dos siervas, y no los hall贸, y sali贸 de la tienda de Lea, y vino a la tienda de Raquel.
34 Y tom贸 Raquel los 铆dolos, y los puso en una albarda de un camello, y se sent贸 sobre ellos; y tent贸 Lab谩n toda la tienda y no los hall贸.
35 Y ella dijo a su padre: No se enoje mi se帽or, porque no me puedo levantar delante de ti; porque tengo la costumbre de las mujeres. Y 茅l busc贸, pero no hall贸 los 铆dolos.
36 Entonces Jacob se enoj贸, y ri帽贸 con Lab谩n; y respondi贸 Jacob y dijo a Lab谩n: 驴Qu茅 prevaricaci贸n es la m铆a? 驴Cu谩l es mi pecado, que has seguido en pos de m铆?
37 Pues que has tentado todos mis alhajas, 驴qu茅 has hallado de todas las alhajas de tu casa? Ponlo aqu铆 delante de mis hermanos y tuyos, y juzguen entre nosotros ambos.
