TALMUD 8


A light burns above its head (the embryo) and it looks and sees from one end of the world to the other, as it is said, then his lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness. . . . It is also taught all the Torah from beginning to end, for it is said, And he taught me, and said unto me: 'Let thy heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments and live', . . . As soon as it, sees the light an angel approaches, slaps it on its mouth and causes it to forget all the Torah completely, as it is said, Sin coucheth at the door.
-Nidah 30b
