Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 106:28-30

_ _ sacrifices of the dead — that is, of lifeless idols, contrasted with “the living God” (Jeremiah 10:3-10; compare Psalms 115:4-7; 1 Corinthians 12:2). On the words,

_ _ joined themselves to Baal-peor — see Numbers 25:2, Numbers 25:3, Numbers 25:5.

_ _ Baal-peor — that is, the possessor of Peor, the mountain on which Chemosh, the idol of Moab, was worshipped, and at the foot of which Israel at the time lay encamped (Numbers 23:28). The name never occurs except in connection with that locality and that circumstance.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 106:13-33.
