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.
KJV
Divites enim erant valde, et simul habitare non poterant : nec sustinebat eos terra peregrinationis eorum præ multitudine gregum.
Vulgate
ἦν γὰρ αὐτῶν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα πολλὰ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἅμα, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο ἡ γῆ τῆς παροικήσεως αὐτῶν φέρειν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῶν.
LXX
For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle.
