Context of Psalms 106:26
24Then they scorned the pleasing land— they did not trust in His word. 25Instead, they grumbled in their tents. They would not listen to Adonai’s voice. Therefore He swore to them that He would make them fall in the desert, 27and disperse their offspring among the nations, and scatter them through the lands. 28Then they yoked themselves to Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of dead things.
