1567. Verse 6 And the land was unable to bear them, that they might dwell together, for their acquisitions were great, and they could not dwell together.

'The land was unable to bear them, that they might dwell together' means that the things which belonged to the celestial internals could not remain together with the former ones. 'For their acquisitions were great, and they could not dwell together' means the things that were acquired by the internal man could not agree with those acquired in the external.
