Targum Neofiti on Genesis 3:15

Targum Neofiti on Genesis 3:15 — as quoted by Pitre (p 27); translation: Martin McNamara, Targum Neofiti 1: Genesis (Aramaic Bible 1A)

I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your sons and her sons…For her sons, however, there will be a remedy, but for you, O serpent, there will not be a remedy, since they are to make appeasement in the end, in the day of King Messiah.

Why Pitre cites it

The Aramaic paraphrase reads the war between the woman's sons and the serpent as ending 'in the day of King Messiah' — Jewish evidence that Genesis 3:15 was a messianic text before Christianity.
