Genèse 36:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 36:7

For their riches were more than that they might dwell together,
&c.] And therefore it was proper to part, as Abraham and Lot had done before, ( Genesis 13:6 ) ; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them, because
of their cattle;
their cattle were so numerous that they could not get pasturage for them, there not being enough left them by the inhabitants of it for them to occupy; nor could they hire land of them sufficient for them both; they being not possessors but sojourners in it, and therefore could have no more of it than the inhabitants thought fit to let unto them.

5 Et Oholibama enfanta Jéush, Jaelam et Korah. Voilà les fils d'Ésaü, qui lui naquirent au pays de Canaan.
6 Et Ésaü prit ses femmes, et ses fils et ses filles, et toutes les personnes de sa maison, et ses troupeaux, et tout son bétail, et tout le bien qu'il avait acquis au pays de Canaan; et il s'en alla dans un autre pays, loin de Jacob, son frère.
7 Car leurs biens étaient trop grands pour qu'ils pussent demeurer ensemble, et le pays où ils séjournaient ne pouvait pas les contenir, à cause de leurs troupeaux.
8 Et Ésaü habita sur la montagne de Séir. Ésaü est Édom.
9 Et voici les descendants d'Ésaü, père des Iduméens, sur la montagne de Séir.
