(Neither he_could them to_catch earth/land, as to_livent simul: was indeed/sure substantia their fine, and nequibant to_live commonter. )

13.6 Erat quippe substantia eorum multa, etc. Ne quæso sit, etc. Nos quoque nihil concordiæ et charitati præponamus, sed per dexteram prosperitatis, vel sinistram adversitatis, in pace et dilectione perseveremus. Rixa inter pastores Lot et pastores Abræ controversiam significat inter pastores catholicos et subversores hæreticos. Unde et Lot hæresiarchas significat, qui declinans interpretatur; et circa Jordanem, id est descensum, regionem sibi elegit. Pastores ejus, hæreticos et schismaticos, qui pulchra et declivia petunt, nec in montem cum Mose ascendunt ad Dominum, pacem et unitatem continentes; et optionem quo volunt eundi accipiunt; et gratiam fugientes, libero arbitrio se committunt. Pastores vero Abræ catholicos doctores significant, qui hæreticos etiam localiter fugiunt, secundum illud ad Titum 3: Hæreticum hominem post primam et secundam correctionem devita: et hoc inter gentes Chananæi et Pheresæi, in terra scilicet promissionis, quia inter catholicos et hæreticos, quorum sit regnum cœlorum, solet esse contentio. Fratres enim sumus. Tribus modis dicuntur fratres in sancta Scriptura: natura, ut Jacob et Esau; cognatione, ut Abram et Lot; gente, sicut omnes Judæi. Unde si attenuatus fuerit frater tuus et vendiderit se tibi, etc.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

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]
