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.

In context
3 And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel,—as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:
4 unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first,—and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.
5 Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
6 And the land suffered them not to dwell together,—because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling in the land.
8 So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.
9 Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me,—if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
