Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name גֹּמֶר (Gomer) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of completion or consummation can be related to Greek terms such as τελέω (teleo, Strong's Greek 5055), meaning "to complete" or "to finish." Usage: Gomer is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to two distinct individuals: • Gomer, the son of Japheth, who is listed among the descendants of Noah. • Gomer, the wife of the prophet Hosea, who is central to the narrative in the Book of Hosea. Context: • Gomer, Son of Japheth: Gomer is mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:2-3 as the first son of Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. Gomer is traditionally understood to be the ancestor of several nations, including the Cimmerians and possibly the early Celtic peoples. The descendants of Gomer are listed as Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. This genealogical listing places Gomer's descendants in the regions north of Israel, possibly in areas corresponding to parts of modern-day Europe and Asia Minor. • Gomer, Wife of Hosea: In the Book of Hosea, Gomer is the wife of the prophet Hosea. Her story is a symbolic representation of Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Hosea 1:2-3 states, "When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, He said to him, 'Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is committing blatant acts of prostitution by forsaking the LORD.' So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son." Gomer's unfaithfulness and Hosea's continued love for her serve as a metaphor for God's enduring love for Israel despite the nation's idolatry and infidelity.
