Jacob and Esau had very many possessions. The result was that they needed more land for their livestock. The land where they were living was not big enough for both of them. They had too much livestock. So Esau, whose other name was Edom, had taken his wives and sons and daughters and all the other members of his household, his sheep and goats and his other animals, and all the other things he had obtained in Canaan land, and they had moved to an area that was away from Jacob.
7 Mali zao zilikuwa nyingi sana kiasi kwamba haikuwa rahisi wao kuishi pamoja, nchi waliyokuwa wakiishi isingewatosha wote kwa ajili ya mifugo yao.
