In Mandaeism, Sam Ziwa ( Classical Mandaic: ࡎࡀࡌ ࡆࡉࡅࡀ) is an uthra (angel or guardian) from the World of Light. Sam Ziwa is considered to be the Mandaean equivalent of Shem. [1] [2]
Sam is also a Mandaean masculine given name (see for example Abdullah bar Sam). [3]
Sam Mana Smira
Sam Ziwa may be identified with Sam Mana Smira (Smir Ziwa 'pure first Radiance', or Sam Smir Ziwa; Smir means 'preserved'), an uthra is mentioned in Qolasta prayers 9, 14, 28, 77, and 171, and Right Ginza 3 and 5.4. [4] Yawar Mana Smira and Sam Smira Ziwa are mentioned in Right Ginza 14. [2] Lidzbarski (1920) translates Sam Mana Smira as "Sām, the well-preserved Mānā." [5]
