Ramban on Genesis 36:7/רמב"ן על בראשית ל״ו:ז׳
אוְלֹא יָכְלָה אֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵיהֶם טַעְמוֹ עִיר מְגוּרֵיהֶם, הִיא חֶבְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר גָּר שָׁם אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק, כִּי אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן תִּשָּׂא כָּזֶה וְכָזֶה אֶלֶף פְּעָמִים, אֲבָל עֵשָׂו בִּרְאוֹתוֹ כִּי לֹא יוּכַל לַעֲמֹד בְּעִירוֹ וּבִמְקוֹמוֹ, עָזַב אֶת כָּל הָאָרֶץ לְאָחִיו וְהָלַךְ לוֹ:
1AND THE LAND OF THEIR SOJOURNINGS. The meaning thereof is “the city of their sojournings,” which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned,258 for the land of Canaan could support a thousand times more than Jacob and Esau. But when Esau saw that he could not stay in his city and in his place, he left the entire country to his brother and went his way.
