In Mandaeism, Bil (ࡁࡉࡋ) or Bel is the Mandaic name for the planet Jupiter. Bil is one of the seven planets (ࡔࡅࡁࡀ|translit=šuba|lit=The Seven), who are part of the entourage of Ruha in the World of Darkness.[1] [2]
Bil, who is also called Angʿil, is associated with masculinity and also with hotness and moistness (see also four temperaments). Bil's name is derived from the Akkadian Bēlu.[3]
