Gomer, Son of Japheth</b><br><br>Gomer is first mentioned in the Table of Nations in <a href="/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2-3</a>, where he is listed as the eldest son of Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. The Berean Standard Bible states: "The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah." Gomer is thus the progenitor of several nations, and his descendants are believed to have settled in regions north of Israel, possibly in areas corresponding to modern-day Europe and parts of Asia Minor.<br><br>The descendants of Gomer, particularly through his son Ashkenaz, are often associated with the Cimmerians, an ancient people who lived in what is now southern Russia and Ukraine. Historical and archaeological evidence suggests that the Cimmerians were a nomadic group known for their military prowess and incursions into the territories of the Assyrian Empire.<br><br><b>2. Gomer, Wife of Hosea</b><br><br>Gomer is also the name of the wife of the prophet Hosea, as recorded in the Book of Hosea. In <a href="/hosea/1-2.htm">Hosea 1:2-3</a> , the Lord commands Hosea to marry a promiscuous woman as a symbolic act to illustrate Israel's unfaithfulness to God: "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 promiscuity by forsaking the LORD.' So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son."<br><br>Gomer's marriage to Hosea serves as a living parable of God's relationship with Israel. Despite Gomer's unfaithfulness, Hosea's persistent love and redemption of her reflect God's unwavering love and willingness to forgive His people. This narrative underscores the themes of sin, judgment, and redemption that are central to the prophetic message.<br><br>Gomer's children, named Jezreel, Lo-Ruhamah, and Lo-Ammi, further symbolize the consequences of Israel's infidelity and the hope of eventual restoration. <a href="/hosea/2-23.htm">Hosea 2:23</a> captures the promise of reconciliation: "I will plant her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on 'No Compassion.' I will say to those called 'Not My People,' 'You are My people,' and they will say, 'You are my God.'"<br><br><b>3. Theological Significance</b><br><br>The accounts of Gomer in the Bible, both as a descendant of Japheth and as the wife of Hosea, carry significant theological implications. As a descendant of Japheth, Gomer represents the spread of humanity and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth" (<a href="/genesis/9.htm">Genesis 9:1</a>). The nations that emerged from Gomer's lineage are part of the broader narrative of God's sovereignty over all peoples and His unfolding plan for the world.<br><br>In the prophetic narrative, Gomer's life with Hosea illustrates the depth of God's covenant love and the seriousness of spiritual adultery. Her account is a poignant reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the hope of restoration through repentance and divine grace. The marriage of Hosea and Gomer serves as a powerful metaphor for God's enduring commitment to His covenant people, despite their waywardness.<br><br>Gomer's account, therefore, is not only a historical account but also a profound theological lesson on the nature of God's love, justice, and mercy.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gomer</span><p>to finish; complete<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Gomer</span><p>(<i>perfect</i>). <ol> <li>The eldest son of Japheth, (<a href="/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2,3</a>) the progenitor of the early Cimmerians, of the later Cimbri and the other branches of the Celtic family, and of the modern Gael and Cymri.</li> <li>The wife of Hosea.

He is believed to have settled the northern shores of the Black Sea, and given name to the ancient Cimmerians and to the Crimea. About 700 B. C. a part of his posterity diffused themselves in Asia Minor. Traces of his name and parentage are also found in the Cymbri, Umbri, and Cambri of historians, in Kumero and Kumeraeg, the names of the Welsh people and language, and among various nations of Europe. </p><p>2.

The eldest son of Japheth, and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah (<a href="/genesis/10-2.htm">Genesis 10:2</a>, 3), whose descendants formed the principal branch of the population of South-eastern Europe. He is generally regarded as the ancestor of the Celtae and the Cimmerii, who in early times settled to the north of the Black Sea, and gave their name to the Crimea, the ancient Chersonesus Taurica. Traces of their presence are found in the names Cimmerian Bosphorus, Cimmerian Isthmus, etc. In the seventh century B.C. they were driven out of their original seat by the Scythians, and overran western Asia Minor, whence they were afterwards expelled. They subsequently reappear in the times of the Romans as the Cimbri of the north and west of Europe, whence they crossed to the British Isles, where their descendants are still found in the Gaels and Cymry. Thus the whole Celtic race may be regarded as descended from Gomer. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>n.</I>) A Hebrew measure.

The name evidently designates the people called Gimirra by the Assyrians, Kimmerians by the Greeks. They were a barbaric horde of Aryans who in the 7th century B.C. left their abode in what is now Southern Russia and poured through the Caucasus into Western Asia, causing serious trouble to the Assyrians and other nations. One division moved eastward toward Media, another westward, where they conquered Cappadocia and made it their special abode. They fought also in other parts of Asia Minor, conquering some portions. The Armenian name for Cappadocia, Gamir, has come from this people.

Hosea married Gomer according to Divine appointment, and this was the beginning of God's word to him (<a href="/hosea/1-3.htm">Hosea 1:3</a>; <a href="/hosea/3-1.htm">Hosea 3:1-4</a>). She was to be a wife of whoredom and they were to have children of whoredom. This need not mean that at the time of marriage she was thus depraved, but she had the evil taint in her blood, had inherited immoral instincts. These soon manifested themselves, and the unfaithful, depraved wife of the prophet went deeper into sin. She seems to have left him and become the slave of her paramour (<a href="/hosea/3-1.htm">Hosea 3:1</a>). Hosea is now commanded by Yahweh to buy her back, paying the price of the ordinary slave. The prophet keeps her in confinement and without a husband for some time. This experience of the prophet was typical of Israel's unfaithfulness, of Israel's exile, and of God bringing her back after the punishment of the exile.<br><br>See <a href="../h/hosea.htm">HOSEA</a>.<br><br>J.
