Psalms 106:28

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

Ver. 28. They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor] Heb. they were unequally yoked, as 2 Corinthians 6:14 .

Quam male inaequales veniunt ad aratra iuvenci.

They separated themselves to that shame, Priapus, Hosea 9:10, who had his name from showing all, Ab operatione seu nudatione pudendorum; and his worshippers were most impudent servants.

And ate the sacrifices of the dead] i.e. Of idols opposed to the living God. The beginning of idolatry, some say, was the attributing of divine honours to great persons when they were dead. The heathens showed the sepulchres of their oldest deities.
