וְרָחֵ֞ל לָקְחָ֣ה אֶת הַתְּרָפִ֗ים וַתְּשִׂמֵ֛ם בְּכַ֥ר הַגָּמָ֖ל
and,Rachel taken DOM the,household_gods and,put,them in/on/at/with,saddle the,camel's
This kind of saddle was used as a seat and also had compartments or bags for carrying things. Make sure it is clear in your translation that Rachel had hidden the idols before Laban entered her tent. Also see how you translated idols in verse 19. Alternate translation: “But Rachel had put the idols inside her camel saddlebag to hide them,” or “But Rachel had hidden the idols inside her camel saddlebag”
וַתֵּ֣שֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם
and,sat on,them
Alternate translation: “and she was sitting on the gods”
וַיְמַשֵּׁ֥שׁ לָבָ֛ן אֶת כָּל הָאֹ֖הֶל
and,searched Lāⱱān DOM all/each/any/every the,tent
Alternate translation: “Laban rummaged through everything else in the tent, but” or “So when Laban searched everywhere else in her tent,”
וְלֹ֥א מָצָֽא
and=not he/it_found
For some languages, it may be better to change the order of the clauses in this sentence and say, “So Laban was not able to find them, even though he searched her tent thoroughly.” Alternate translation: “he could not find anything.” or “he did not find his idols”
31:33-35 Laban searched for the idols but found nothing. Laban never dreamed that a woman having her monthly period would desecrate the idols by sitting on them (cp. Lev 15:19-24).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
