Angels-LAILAH

Lailah is the angel of night in Jewish legend. She is in charge of conception
and is appointed to guard spirits at their birth. As the story
goes, Lailah carries sperm before God, who chooses what type of person
will come from it and selects a preexisting soul to be sent to the
embryo. An angel stands guard at the woman’s womb to make sure the
soul does not escape. Perhaps to help the soul for the nine months in
the womb, the angel gives it a preview of its coming life, but just before
birth the angel fillips the baby’s nose and the child forgets its knowledge
of the future. One legend states that Lailah fought for Abraham
when he battled kings; others claim Lailah is a demonic angel.
