Daughter of Diblaim; Hosea's wife, mother of Jezreel, Lo-Ruchamah and Lo-Ammi. ⚠ She is named, and then never speaks — not one word in the book — which is worth noticing in a book that turns her into a national metaphor. Her father's name, Diblayim, looks like a dual of develah, a pressed fig-cake, and readers since antiquity have tried to hear something in it (a prostitute's fee; a link to the raisin-cakes of 3:1); it may equally be an ordinary patronymic, and the guess should be marked as a guess. Whether the woman Hosea is told to buy back in chapter 3 is Gomer again or a different woman is not stated, and both readings are old.
