In Mandaeism, Yura (Classical Mandaic: ࡉࡅࡓࡀ, romanized: Iura, lit. 'jewel') is an uthra (angelic or celestial being). Yura is mentioned in Right Ginza 15.7, 15.8, 16.1, and 17.1,[1] as well as in Qulasta prayers 214 and 379.[2]
In Right Ginza 15.7, 16.1, and 17.1, he is mentioned as Yura Rba Ganzibra, meaning "Great Yura the Ganzibra" or "Great Yura the Treasurer"; Right Ginza 15.8 and the Qulasta prayers mention him simply as Yura Rba ("Great Yura").[1]
While Shishlam is considered to be the prototypical Mandaean priest (of any rank),[3] Yura may be thought of as the prototypical ganzibra.
