St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CVI
27. But they of whose iniquities this Psalm speaketh, when they had entered into that temporal land of promise, “destroyed not the heathen, which the Lord commanded them” ( ver. 34 ); “but were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works” ( ver. 35 ). “Insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which became to them an offence” ( ver. 36 ). Their not destroying them, but mingling with them, became to them an offence.
