For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.

For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle.

For they were exceeding rich, and could not dwell together: neither was the land in which they sojourned able to bear them, for the multitude of their flocks.

For their property was too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were sojourners could not bear them, because of their cattle.

For their riches were more than that they might dwell together: and the land wherein they were strangers could not sustain them, because of their cattle.

for their substance was more abundant than to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings was not able to bear them because of their cattle;

For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

For they were very wealthy and were not able to live together. Neither was the land of their sojourn able to sustain them, because of the multitude of their flocks.

For their riches were more than that they might dwell together,.... And therefore it was proper to part, as Abraham and Lot had done before, Genesis 13:6,
and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them, because of their cattle; their cattle were so numerous that they could not get pasturage for them, there not being enough left them by the inhabitants of it for them to occupy; nor could they hire land of them sufficient for them both; they being not possessors but sojourners in it, and therefore could have no more of it than the inhabitants thought fit to let unto them.
