So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
Gomer ... daughter of Diblaim - symbolical names: literally, 'Completion, daughter of grape-cakes;' the dual expressing the double layers in which these dainties were baked. So, one completely given up to sensuality. Maurer explains "Gomer" as literally 'a burning coal.' Compare Proverbs 6:27; Proverbs 6:29, as to an adulteress; Job 31:9; Job 31:12.
