Seed of the woman

Common card · No. 471945

Seed of the woman or offspring of the woman (Biblical Hebrew: זַרְעָ֑הּ, romanized: zar‘āh, lit. 'her seed') is a phrase from the Book of Genesis: as a result of the serpent's temptation of Eve, which resulted in the fall of man, God announces (in Genesis 3:15) that he will put enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In Judaism, the "seed of the woman" is taken as a collective reference to humankind in general. In Christianity, however, this verse is known as the protoevangelium, and is interpreted as a prophecy of the coming of Jesus.
