When you watch a show like Lost, you have to pay attention to every spoken word, every shown image. The writers insist on dropping clues, so you know that there are no throwaway lines.
Gen31 seems strange to me because it seems like there is a throwaway incident here. Rachel steals her father's household idols and hides them in her camel's saddle pouches. Laban goes through everything except the saddle bags and then gets an earful from Jacob for his seemingly baseless searching. Like the Sarah deception as Abe's sister, you expect Rachel to later confess her sin to Jacob, and for rending of garments to occur, and for consequences of sin to be exposed.
No dice.
There are no throwaway lines in the Word. Every serif chosen for a particular reason. This incident is illuminated for our us for a reason. I believe this. This gets added to the rest of the list of "Things to Ask Christ About When in Heaven." It ranks quite far below, "Lord, why me?" and quite a bit above "Why Ten Commandments? Why not Eleven?"
