“Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;”
The prohibition against entering the gate of my people in the day of their calamity and not gloating over their disaster and not looting their wealth indicates the specific crimes Edom is accused of during Israel's military defeat. The multiple prohibitions emphasize the severity of Edom's treachery.
