Hibil
Hibil is a Persian spirit and light being ( Uthra ) and a mythical figure of the Mandaeans .
During an eschatological voyage to hell, he fought with the demon Krun to save all pious souls from the mouth of Ur . In particular Ptahil , Joshamin and Abathur are thereby redeemed.
Often he is equated with Manda d-Haije , in other sources presented as Manda's envoy.
