The phrase seed of the serpent also has various explanations. Though wounded, the damage done to Jesus was not final, for He came back from the dead three days later. He bore our judgment upon Calvary's cross and, in doing so, bruised His heel. Christ died on our behalf being made sin for us ( 2 Corinthians 5:21). Bruising suggests something that was not ultimate or final. On the cross Satan bruised the heel of Christ, causing His death. The seed of the serpent would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman. The idea that Mary was the seed of the woman has no basis in fact in the Scripture. This unfortunate translation gave wrongful support for the claims concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary. It changes the pronoun from the masculine his to the feminine.

The Latin Vulgate version of the Old Testament has an unfortunate translation in Genesis 3:15. They believe that Cain was the beginning of the fulfillment of this prophecy that was eventually culminated in Christ.

Some Bible students see that seed of the woman as referring to humanity in general. The Promised One would be from the woman's seed an indication of the eventual virgin birth of Christ. It is the beginning of a long line of prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. Therefore, we have in Genesis 3:15, the first promise of a Redeemer. The ultimate seed of the woman would be Jesus Himself. The comment of Eve, upon the birth of the third son mentioned, Seth, seems to show that she understood Abel as part of the fulfillment of the promised seed.Īnd Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed ( Genesis 4:25). Cain, the first son, would not qualify because he was a murderer. Therefore the seed of the woman began with Abel, the second son of Adam and Eve. Many commentators understand it to refer initially to redeemed humanity and then ultimately to Jesus Christ. It was a promise of someone or some people to come. The seed is to be understood as either one individual or a group of people whose appearance would be some time in the future. In Genesis 3, there is no explanation of the phrase the seed of the woman. Who is the seed of the woman and who is the seed of the serpent? What do these predictions mean? However, the seed of the woman would also bruise (or crush) the head of the serpent. God promised that eventually the serpent would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman. There will also be enmity between his seed and her seed. In the third chapter of Genesis we find one of the most important verses in Scripture.Īnd I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel ( Genesis 3:15).Īccording to this verse, there will be enmity between the individual woman (Eve) and the serpent who deceived her.
