Yukabar (also Yukhabr; Classical Mandaic: ࡉࡅࡊࡀࡁࡀࡓ is an uthra (angel or guardian) in the World of Light.[1] He is the envoy of life who raises up the soul, and is also called Yukabar-Manda-Hiia (Yukabar Manda Hayyi).[2]
In Mandaean scriptures
[edit]Yukashar is mentioned in Qulasta prayers 74, 77, 173, and 379.[3] In Right Ginza 15.6, he is mentioned as Yukabar-Kušṭa, and in Right Ginza 16.4 and 17.1 as Yukabar-Ziwa.[1]
Yukabar helps Nbaṭ fight a rebellion against Yushamin in the Mandaean Book of John.[4]
