Protoevangelium (Genesis 3:15) translational differences When reading on Biblical Prophecies, a big one is Genesis 3:15. The Douay-Rheims translation says

&quot;I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.&quot;

When it says &quot;She  shall crush thy head...&quot; is it refering to Mary, Jesus, or the both of them doing so? Growing up as a Methodist, the Bible has always said &quot;He shall...&quot; and not &quot;She shall..&quot;. Why is it translated the way it is?
Some manuscripts have female pronouns and some have male. Some Catholic translations are based upon the ones with the female pronouns and thus see a foreshadowing of Mary (while still acknowledging Christ's roles).
Protestant translations generally favor reading the male pronoun there and focus on Christ's role.
