Exegesis
The participle hanitzmadim {הַנִּצְמָדִים | han-nîṣ-ma-ḏîm} ‘those who have joined themselves’ qualifies the object, and the prepositional phrase lebaal peor {לְבַעַל פְּעֽוֹר | lə-ba-ʿal pə-ʿôr} ‘to Baal of Peor’ identifies the idol. This structure preserves Hebrew distributive and participial nuances in English, emphasizing direct agency and collective complicity in idolatry.
Root and etymology
