Context of Psalms 106:27
25They spoke against the Lord in their tents, and they did not obey him. 26So he made a strong promise that he would cause them to die in the desert. He promised that he would chase their descendants away, so that they died in foreign countries. 28After that, they started to worship the false god, Baal of Peor. They ate the food from sacrifices that people gave to dead idols. 29The Lord became angry because of what his people did. He sent a bad disease among them.
