“Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.”
Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them inside her camel's saddle and was sitting on them. Laban searched through everything in the tent but found nothing. Rachel's hiding of the stolen objects inside the camel saddle and sitting on it is a brilliantly practical hiding place. The search produces nothing. The application: the cunning that characterized Rachel throughout chapters 29-30 is fully operational in this moment of crisis.
