We see in verses 6-7 that the land could not handle the flocks of both Esau and Jacob. Like Abraham and Lot they went separate ways so there wouldn't be problems. We aren't told why Esau left Canaan, but I have to think it had to do with the covenant God made with Abraham that was passed down to Jacob. Whatever the reason we see two groups which could have fought for resources finding a different direction.
