"Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying,"

has taken all that was our fathers

Laban's sons were exaggerating because they were angry. This could be translated as "has taken so much that belonged to our father." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)

Jacob saw the look on Laban's face. He saw that his attitude toward him had changed

"your father Isaac and your grandfather Abraham"
