In Mandaeism, Urfeil and Marfeil (or ʿUrpʿil and Marpʿil; Classical Mandaic: ࡏࡅࡓࡐࡏࡉࡋ ࡅࡌࡀࡓࡐࡏࡉࡋ) are a pair of uthras (angel/guardian) in the World of Light that are always mentioned together. They are mentioned in Books 3. And 5 (Chapter 1) of the Right Ginza, as well as in Qolasta prayer 168.
In Right Ginza 5.1, Yawar Ziwa appoints Urfeil and Marfeil over the east——to watch over Ur.
Etymology※
The name Marfeil is: cognate with the Hebrew word מַרפֵּא marpe, which means 'healing.'
