Genesis 13:6 in other translations
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.
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.
The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
