Gen. 3:14      Gen. 3:16

Genesis 3:15

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring (seed, children, race – Hebr. zera) and her offspring (seed, children, race), he [Jesus] will attack (trample, crush) your head, and you will [lie in wait and] attack his heel [cause Jesus' suffering]."
[Before God continues with the judgment of Adam and Eve, he gives hope that evil will be crushed. The fact that it says the woman's seed, and not the man's seed, also hints at Jesus' virgin birth. This verse is usually called the protoevangelium. This is a combination of two Greek words, protos meaning "first" and evangelion meaning "good news" or "gospel." See also Rev 12:17 where the corresponding Greek word for the Hebrew zera is used.]
