OET (OET-LV) And_not it_supported DOM_them the_earth/land to_stayed together if/because their_property it_was much and_not they_were_able to_live together.
OET (OET-RV) but the land couldn’t support them all while they stayed together. Because the needs of their combined assets were so demanding, they couldn’t all thrive in one place
וְלֹא־נָשָׂ֥א אֹתָ֛ם הָאָ֖רֶץ
and=not support DOM=them the=earth/land
Alternate translation: [As a result, the land could not provide them all with the necessary food and water] or [In fact, there was not enough land to provide adequate food and water for both families and all their animals]
לָשֶׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו
to,stayed together
Alternate translation: [if they lived near each other]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
כִּֽי־הָיָ֤ה רְכוּשָׁם֙ רָ֔ב
that/for/because/then/when it_became their=property great
The phrase their possessions represents all that they owned in general, not one particular possession. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Their livestock required much land to graze and much water to drink. The word "possessions" may also include their many servants. Alternate translation: [because their belongings were so abundant] or [because they owned so many servants and livestock] or [They each owned so many servants and livestock]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וְלֹ֥א יָֽכְל֖וּ לָשֶׁ֥בֶת יַחְדָּֽו
and=not able to,live together
The words translated as so that indicate that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated stayed together earlier in this verse. Alternate translation:r [that they could not all live in the same area]
13:1-7 This story is set in conflict amid God’s blessings. In the opening verses, Abram returns to a place where he had built an altar. Previous events are emphasized as Abram’s return to the land is described (13:3-4); Abram renewed his worship and again proclaimed the Lord’s name (cp. 12:8).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
