“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.”
Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. The same reason given for Lot's separation from Abraham in Genesis 13:6 is given for Esau's separation from Jacob: the land cannot support both. The application: prosperity sometimes requires separation for both parties to flourish.
