Strong's Lexicon Gomer: Gomer Original Word: גֹּמֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root גמר (gamar), meaning "to complete" or "to bring to an end." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Gomer in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: Gomer is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two distinct entities: a person and a people group. The name is often associated with the idea of completion or fulfillment. Cultural and Historical Background: - Gomer as a Person: Gomer is the name of the wife of the prophet Hosea. Her account is significant in the prophetic narrative as it symbolizes Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Hosea's marriage to Gomer, who is described as a woman of harlotry, serves as a living parable of God's relationship with Israel. - Gomer as a People Group: Gomer is also the name of a son of Japheth, one of Noah's sons, mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10. The descendants of Gomer are traditionally associated with the Cimmerians, an ancient people who lived in what is now southern Russia and Ukraine.
