it would appear from that passage that the soul is formed prior to entering the body and that it enters the body post conception.
How did you arrive at that conclusion? It says "before I formed you." There is no "you" in a lifeless clump of cells right? So it must be saying "before I formed your soul." How can one know a soul that has not yet been formed? This can only be a reference to divine foreknowlege, which gives no indication as to the moment of ensoulment.
