Nor is this exposition peculiar to christians. The JewishRabbies, as is well known, understood the covenant in the same sense. Speaking of it the Targum of Jerusalem says:- "There will be a remedy for man, but not for the serpent, but he shall wound his heel, at the end of the days of the king Messiah." The Targum of Jonathan, and numerous other Hebrew authorities, say substantially the same thing. They assert that "The seed of the woman is Messiah."
Messianic interpretations of Genesis 3:15 in the Jewish Aramaic Targums affirm that it refers to Christ.
