What is Seed of the woman?

The seed of the woman or offspring of the woman is an unnamed person or community of people prophetically referred to in the biblical Book of Genesis. As a result of the serpent's temptation of Eve, which resulted in the fall of man, God announces that he will put an enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In Christianity, this verse is known as the protoevangelium, and is interpreted as a prophecy of the coming of Jesus. In Judaism, the "seed of the woman" is taken as a collective reference to mankind in general.
