The first occurrence.
And YHVH God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.” Gen 3:14
The primitive root.
Strong’s H779 ארר arar, a primitive root meaning, “to curse.” The 3-letter root is aleph + resh + resh.
aleph א = the ox head, thus strength, power, leader
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
The story: Powerful words resting on the head of a man, passing to the head of a second man, i.e. negatively influencing and effecting that man and his generations after him.
