Gomer ( , Standard Hebrew Gómer, Tiberian Hebrew G, pronounced [go'mer] ) is the eldest son of Japheth (and therefore of the Japhetic line), and father of Ashkenaz , Riphath , and Togarmah , according to the "Table of Nations " in the Hebrew Bible . (Genesis 10).
The eponymous Gomer, "standing for the whole family," as the compilers of the Jewish Encyclopedia expressed it, is also mentioned in Book of Ezekiel 38:6 as the ally of Gog , the chief of the land of Magog .
In Islamic folklore, the Persian historian Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (c. 915) recounts a Persian tradition that Gomer lived to the age of 1000, noting that this record equalled that of Nimrod , but was unsurpassed by anyone else mentioned in the Torah.
