to eat dust as food; and
to be in enmity with the seed of the woman; i.e. the seed of the woman shall bruise its head while the Serpent will bruise the heel of the seed of woman.

For listening to the Serpent, desiring, eating and giving the fruit to her husband, the woman was sentenced that;
her pains will be multiplied during child bearing;
her desire shall be for her husband; and
her husband shall rule over her.
