What does Genesis 36:7 mean?

Esau and Jacob had too many animals and people to live close together in the same land. There just wasn’t enough space or resources for both of them to stay where their parents had settled. Genesis 36:7 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse explains why Esau and Jacob had to separate. Their families and herds had grown so large that the land couldn’t support them both.)
