Verse
Gn31-32
discussing
who robbed Laban of his idols
states
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, she shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' --For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.--
Rashi notes:
The underlined phrase, she shall not live, can
be supported by a cross-reference
to Gn35-19
discussing
the death of Rachel
which states
. And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-Lehem
Recall that in fact Rachel had stolen Laban's idols as
stated in verse
Gn31-19
which states
And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel had stolen the teraphim that were her father’s
Hence the Rashi comment:
Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen her father's
idols. For this reason he cursed with death the person who
stole it. This curse led to the premature death of Rachel.
