Chasidut for Genesis 31:19

וְלָבָ֣ן הָלַ֔ךְ לִגְזֹ֖ז אֶת־צֹאנ֑וֹ וַתִּגְנֹ֣ב רָחֵ֔ל אֶת־הַתְּרָפִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְאָבִֽיהָ׃

Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.

Kedushat Levi

Genesis 31,19. “Rachel stole her father’s household ‎idols.” [In the following paragraph our author ‎departs so radically from the plain meaning of the text, without ‎even following up the matter of Lavan’s searching for his idols, ‎that I have decided to omit it. Ed.]
