Genesis 36:7 in other translations
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 possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land where they stayed could not support them because of their livestock.
For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.
