Overview

According to the

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]
