Psalms 106:28

Compare all

26 ^aTherefore He raised His hand in an oath against them,
^bTo¹ overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 ^aTo¹ overthrow their descendants among the² nations,
And to scatter them in the lands.

28 ^aThey joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices¹ made to the dead.

29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.

30 ^aThen Phinehas stood up and intervened,
And the plague was stopped.

31 And that was accounted to him ^afor righteousness
To all generations forevermore.

32 ^aThey angered Him also at the waters of¹ strife,
^bSo that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

Psalms 106:28

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor - The Vulgate, Septuagint, and others, have Belphegor; the Syriac and Arabic, the idol Phegor, or Phaaur; the ain in the word being pronounced as gh.

Ate the sacrifices or the dead - methim , of dead men. Most of the heathen idols were seen, who had been deified after their death; many of whom had been execrated during their life.
