No, it does not. It means that God planned ahead and He provided the seed.
And it means exactly what it says, "zera`". No matter how you slice it, the
woman provides the egg and the male provides the "zera'." In the case of
Gen
3:15 God has shown His intent to provide a woman with a seed, a virgin birth.
An hermaphrodite does not necessarily produce seed. Peterkirk, I didn't
write Genesis 3:15, God did. If you have a problem with this promise from
God,
take it up with Him.
