daf bit: Niddah 31
Our rabbis taught: there are three partners in the creation of a person:
the Holy One blessed be he, the father, and the mother. The father supplies
what will become bones, sinews, nails, the brain, and the whites of the
eyes; the mother supplies what will become skin, flesh, hair, blood, and
the black of the eyes; and the Holy One supplies spirit and breath, beauty
of features, eyesight, hearing, speech, the ability to walk, understanding,
and discernment. When it is time for a person to depart from the world the
Holy One takes back what He supplied and leaves what was supplied by his
father and mother. (31a)
