# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 38:1

**Not Scripture.** Read [Why](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/3-enoch#research-notice) and [the Issues With This Book](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/3-enoch#issues-with-this-book).

R. Ishmael said: Metatron, the Angel, the Prince of the Presence, said to me: At the time, when the ministering angels utter (the Thrice) Holy, then all the pillars of the heavens and their sockets do tremble, and the gates of the Halls of ‘Araboth Raqia‘ are shaken and the foundations of Shechaqim and the Universe (Tebel) are moved, and the orders of Ma‘on and the chambers of Makon quiver, and all the orders of Raqia‘ and the constellations and the planets are dismayed, and the globes of the sun and the moon haste away and flee out of their courses and run 12,000 parasangs and seek to throw themselves down from heaven,

Not received as Scripture by the Jewish canon or by the major Christian churches, apart from local exceptions such as the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, which includes 1 Enoch and Jubilees. This is not the Apocrypha.
