Genesis 31:35
"Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them."
Key Reflection
This passage illustrates Rachel's cunning and resourcefulness as she flees with her father's household gods (teraphim). Her actions highlight the family’s dependence on these idols while also setting up a stark contrast with God’s presence, which Jacob had earlier renounced in favor of serving the Lord.
