# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 44:6

**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 the colour of the wicked was like the bottom of a pot on account of the wickedness of their doings.

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.
