you will crawl on your stomach

on the head,
and you will strike him
on the heel.

And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring [ a ] and hers;
he will crush
[ b ]
your head,
and you will strike his heel."
14-15 G OD told the serpent:
"Because you've done this, you're cursed,
cursed beyond all cattle and wild animals,
Cursed to slink on your belly
and eat dirt all your life.

between your offspring and hers.
He'll wound your head,
you'll wound his heel."

15
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her
[ a ]
Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel.
