Genesis 3:14

וַ יֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶלֹהִים אֶל הַ נָּחָשׁ כִּי עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת אָרוּר אַתָּה מִ כָּל הַ בְּהֵמָה וּ מִ כֹּל חַיַּת הַ שָּׂדֶה עַל גְּחֹנְךָ תֵלֵךְ וְ עָפָר תֹּאכַל כָּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ
And Yahweh elohim is saying toward the Serpent, `Because you have made this one, he-who-is-cursed128 is yourself from the whole of the Behemah, and from the whole of the living-one of the Field. Upon your curve [gachon]129 you are walking,130 and a dust you are eating, the whole of the days of your living-one.
128

Strong’s #779, arar. To curse. James Strong defines it as to execrate. It is to loath more than anything else.
