When the first breath is drawn into the physical body...outside the womb.

I've always had a theory that we get our souls when our hearts start beating. There is no scientific explanation for our hearts to start beating.

When the head crowns during labor.
Halacha (Jewish law) does define when a fetus becomes a nefesh (person). "...a baby...becomes a full-fledged human being when the head emerges from the womb. Before then, the fetus is considered a 'partial life.' " 5 In the case of a "feet-first" delivery, it happens when most of the fetal body is outside the mother's body. |

Goes against the I knew you in the womb thing though. But did he know us before we were given a soul?

Please note that you have asked a very specific question: Does the Bible say when we are given souls?
You didn't ask for "opinions", but have already gotten several.
The answer to your question is that the Bible does not have a passage that says, "This is when you get a soul..." But as has been stated, the Bible does tell us that God knew us as a person while we were in our mother's womb. It also tells us that God knew John the Baptist by his name, before he was even born. |

Jewish Law does not equal Bible. Quite a bit of Jewish law falls outside the Old Testament. |

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." -Psalm 139:13
ETA: More significant is Jeremiah 1:5 –– "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations". |

Jewish Law does not equal Bible. Quite a bit of Jewish law falls outside the Old Testament. And there is no basis whatsoever for the earlier statement from the Halacha in the Bible. Nor is there a direct statement of when it happens, as has been said earlier. |

It says "I knew you before you were born."
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 ETA: I was pretty slow on that, wasn't I? |

The answer to your question is that the Bible does not have a passage that says, "This is when you get a soul..." agreed. it is also important to unpack the different meanings of the word. the english word 'soul' has many different meanings within a theological context, ranging from simply anima–– 'that which makes something alive' to a non-corporeal volitive being, which is often called 'spirit'. IOW, a dandelion has a soul, but it is more of a reach to say that it has a spirit. |

Quoted:
It says "I knew you before you were born." "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 very often, this is automatically taken to mean something like "you were a complete being before you were born", which i don't think is entirely justified. one could very easily read this as "i knew that you would be born, and that these events would transpire". IOW, god could easily have been simply verifying his omniscience, not revealing an ontological truth. i'm not saying that this is the case, merely that there is more than one thing that this could mean. |
