Берешит 5:29 Каббала: Zohar & Zohar Chadash

The engraving of engravings [is] as the appearance of a long snake, and it is stretched out to here and to there, tail in its head. The [back-]head connects [itself] to the shoulders, furious and angry [possibly a reference to Psalm 78:49], observing and hidden. Once for thousand short days the plowshare was revealed [another reading: was filled] through its smokes/knots, the fin in its parts, its head was broken in the waters of the ocean, as is written: "You broke the heads of the sea serpents on the waters" [Psalm 74:13]. There were two, one was turned around, sea-serpents תנינם, written in a reduced form [in Bereshit 1:21] [instead of תנינים], heads, as you say: "and an image on the heads of the creature: a firmament" [Ezekiel 1:22].

And Noah began to be a man of the ground (Genesis 9:20): Rabbi Yose said, “Why was he called a man of the ground? Since the ground was settled from [his offspring], meaning to say [he was] the master of the ground.” Our rabbis say, “’A man of the ground,’ since the ground arose to its [original] strength and nature on account of him, as it is stated, This one will provide us relief from our work and from the pain of our hands, coming from the ground which the Lord had cursed (Genesis 5:29). You should know that when Adam sinned, the ground was cursed, as it is stated, cursed be the ground because of you (Genesis 3:17). And it remained with its curses until Noah came and nullified the curse.”
