Yet it pleased YHWH to bruise[דכאו] him; he hath put [him] to grief[החלי]: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of YHWH shall prosper in his hand.God was happy with Jesus and also in pain that his beloved faithful son was hurt.
Isaiah 53:10
From this verse there is the idea of oppression causing grief. It's more suggestive of emotional stress eg at the garden of Gethsemene than of physical injury.
From Strongs:
דכאו: beat to pieces, break in pieces, bruise, contrite, crush, destroy, humble, oppress
החלי: (figuratively) to be weak, sick, afflicted; or (causatively) to grieve, make sick;
The parallel target from Zechariah 13:7 relates to the two fates of Judas - hanging himself vs falling headlong and disembowelling himself.
There's no mention of any devil in Genesis. The serpent of the garden was described as being crafty or shrewd rather than diabolical.The devil used the snake possibly to convince her that she was good enough to be like God. However he did it, she thought the serpent was talking to her. She did not know the Devil was using the serpent to communicate with her. Otherwise she might have thought differently and realize she was being used by the deceiver.
