Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 31:36

"And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?" — Genesis 31:36 (ASV)

Jacob was wroth. —Naturally he regarded the accusation about the teraphim as a mere device for searching his goods, and when nothing was found gave free vent to his indignation.
