Psalm 106:28

Praise To Yahweh For His Faithfulness In Israel's History

²⁷
And that He would cast out their descendants among the nations
And scatter them in the lands [of the earth]. ²⁸ 
They joined themselves also to [the idol] Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
²⁹
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their practices,
And a plague broke out among them.
