Rashi, on Gen 13:6

Rashi · 1040–1105
Gen 13:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.”
On this verse:
“ולא נשא אתם AND THE LAND WAS NOT ABLE TO BEAR THEM — It could not provide sufficient pasture for their cattle. The phrase is elliptical and a word must be supplied, for instance: the pasturage (מרעה) of the land was not able to bear them — for this reason the word נשא (masculine) is used (to agree in gender with מרעה; the suggestion is that נשא cannot have הארץ as subject since that noun is feminine).”
