In 31:19, Rachel is revealed as the thief who stole Laban's teraphim — Jacob here unknowingly puts a death curse on whoever has them, unaware it's his own wife.

In Genesis 31:23, Laban pursues and searches Jacob, directly leading to the oath situation here.

In Genesis 31:30, Laban accuses Jacob of stealing his gods, setting the stage for Jacob's oath here.

In 31:37, Jacob directly challenges Laban to search all his belongings for stolen goods — the same bold offer he makes here in 31:32.

In Genesis 30:33, Jacob establishes his integrity in business dealings, aligning with his oath to prove innocence here.

In Genesis 44:9-12, Joseph's brothers make a similar oath about a stolen cup, mirroring Jacob's vow.

In 1 Samuel 12:3-5, Samuel swears to his integrity, much like Jacob does here to clear his name.

In 1 Sam 14:24-29, Saul's rash death-curse unknowingly endangers Jonathan — who violated it by eating honey. Jacob's curse here similarly puts Rachel at risk for something he doesn't know she did.

In Joshua 24:2, Abraham's family is noted as serving other gods beyond the Euphrates. Rachel's theft of teraphim reflects this idolatrous family heritage.

In Isaiah 44:13, a craftsman carves wood into an idol figure. The teraphim Rachel stole were likely such handcrafted household idols.
