# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 42:4

**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).

**Mysticism or Magic.** Chapters 41–48 have Metatron show Rabbi Ishmael the letters by which heaven and earth were created, the souls, and the Curtain of the Throne. [This issue](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/3-enoch#issue-names).

And I saw lightnings that were lightening out of mountains of snow and yet were not damaged (quenched), by (force of) the name YAH SUR ‘OLAMIM (Jah, the everlasting rock), as it is written (Is. xxvi. 4): “For in Jah, YHWH, the everlasting rock”.

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.
