Genesis 13:6

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

And the land {H776} was not able to bear {H5375} them, that they might dwell {H3427} together {H3162}: for their substance {H7399} was great {H7227}, so that they could {H3201} not dwell {H3427} together {H3162}.

But the land could not support their living together, because their possessions were too great for them to remain together.

But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
