Psalms 106:28

106:28 They worshiped Baal of Peor,

and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.


tn Heb “joined themselves to.”

tn Here “the dead” may refer to deceased ancestors (see Deut 26:14). Another option is to understand the term as a derogatory reference to the various deities which the Israelites worshiped at Peor along with Baal (see Num 25:2 and L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 [WBC], 49).
