Genesis 36:7
"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."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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, Gen 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.
