Question: Name the first wife of Hosea?
Answer: Gomer. (Hosea 3:1)
Comments: At God’s command, Hosea marries the prostitute Gomer, the daughter of Diblatayim. Gomer’s marital unfaithfulness mirrors Israel’s infidelity to God. The story can be found in the Book of Hosea, one of twelve “Minor Prophets” featured in the canon.
Am I the only one who pictures Hosea’s wife looking like this? If so, I do not think she was a very prosperous prostitute...
