Actually Genesis Chapter 3:15 foretold the virgin birth......”“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
15 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.”

The KJV calsl it “her seed”, the only time in the OT where a woman is referred to having “seed” without a man involved.

Moses himself prophesied of a “Star arising out of Jacob” meaning that despite the Laws and statutes God had revealed to Moses, Moses knew that an even greater revelation of God’s love was going to be revealed thru one of the future descendents of Jacob.

Respectfully, this is nonsensical. Once again the church butchers the meaning of a clear passage. Since the virgin birth is not articulated in the scriptures, the church has to resort to fanciful twisting of the text.

Offspring or decendants is a good plain meaning to the Hebrew word here, Zerah. Since women have no "seed" it clearly is not refering to pregnacy without a man. It simply means decendants, thats it. For the church to force the meaning to something else, violates the principals of hermeneutics. This is how the Mormons create doctrine also. By, twisting the meaning of otherwise clear passages.
