A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Torah Study'
in which he teaches that an angel visits the embryo and teaches him, "having all goodly things of his master's in his hand".
"Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews" – An angel comes and teaches him, 'having all goodly things of his master's in his hand' and 'the spark of his fire shall shine, a candle lit upon his head', 'let them set a fair miter upon his head, the counsel of God upon his tent'. He is given good doctrine – nothing is as good such as is Torah, 'ordered in all things' preserved from 'since ever the earth was' and he is sworn, on the day of his birth, his makers congratulated, 'better is overt rebuke', 'A damsel, two damsels to every man', and he is told and instructed, as one does to his brethren: Be a righteous person and not a wicked one, 'forgiving iniquity and transgression and fear', that they be uppermost in his mind throughout the days of his life until old age, to live by his faith, 'righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins', ' because his consecration unto God is upon his head'.
