# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 42:6

**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 beheld a flame (and) a glow (glowing flames) that were flaming and glowing in the midst of burning fire, and yet were not damaged (devoured), by (force of) the name YAD‘AL KES YAH (the hand upon the Throne of the Lord) as it is written (Ex. xvii. 16): “And he said: for the hand is upon the Throne of the Lord”.

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.
