Alternate translation: “He did that because” or “The reason Esau moved away is that”

הָיָ֧ה רְכוּשָׁ֛ם רָ֖ב מִשֶּׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו
it_became their=property great too_~_to,live together
The phrase their possessions is general, but here it refers primarily to livestock. Make sure your translation of this phrase refers to both Esau and Jacob’s livestock, not just Esau’s. Alternate translation: “he and Jacob both owned so many livestock that they could no longer live near each other.” or “they both owned so many livestock that they could not live together in the same area”
אֶ֤רֶץ מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙
earth/land where_~_werestaying,they
See how you translated Gen 13:6, which is similar in content to this verse. Alternate translation: “The land where they were living”

and=not could & to,support DOM=them from=face/in_front_of livestock,their
For some languages it is necessary to switch the order of verses 6 and 7, and say, “After a while, Esau and Jacob had so many animals and other possessions that the land was not able to support both their families. So Esau took his wives …” If you do this in your translation, you should label these verses as “6-7”. Alternate translation: “was just not big enough to feed them all because they owned so many animals.” or “did not have enough grazing areas or water to support all the livestock that both families owned”
36:1-43 The book turns to the accounts of Isaac’s sons, concluding the unchosen line of Esau (ch 36) before proceeding with the chosen line of Jacob (ch 37).

OET (OET-RV) because they had too many possessions for them to remain together, and the land they were staying in wasn’t able to support both of them because of all their livestock.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
