# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 48:6

**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).

According as it is written (Is. lix. 16): “And he saw, that there was no man”—(that is:) like unto Moses who prayed countless times for Israel in the desert and averted the (Divine) decrees from them—“and he wondered, that there was no intercessor”—like unto Samuel who intreated the Holy One, blessed be He, and called unto Him, and he answered him and fulfilled his desire, even if it was not fit (in accordance with the Divine plan), according as it is written (1 Sam. xii. 17): “Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto 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.
