In Mandaeism, Shitil ( Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡉࡕࡉࡋ, romanized: Šitil) is an uthra (angel or guardian) from the World of Light. Shitil is considered to be the Mandaean equivalent of Seth. [1]
Prayers in the Qolasta frequently contain the recurring formula, "In the name of Hibil, Šitil, and Anuš" ( Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡔࡅࡌࡀࡉࡄࡅࡍ ࡖࡄࡉࡁࡉࡋ ࡅࡔࡉࡕࡉࡋ ࡅࡀࡍࡅࡔ b-šumaihun ḏ-Hibil u-Šitil u-Anuš). [2]
According to the Mandaean scriptures, including the Qolastā, the Book of John and Genzā Rabbā, the angelic soteriological figure Shitil [3] is a son of Adam Qadmayya ("the first Adam") who taught John the Baptist with his brothers Anush (Enosh) and Hibil Ziwa (Abel). [4] He is variously spoken of as a son of Adam, [5] a brother [6] or son [7] of Hibil, and the brother [6] or father [7] [8] of Anush. Sheetil is one of the revealers of Mandaeism, identified as the biblical Seth. [9]
The Left Ginza mentions that Shitil was taken alive to the World of Light without a masiqta (death mass). [2]
