# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 48:7

**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 not only that, but He joined fellowship with Moses in every place, as it is written (Ps. xcix. 6): “Moses and Aaron among His priests”. And again it is written (Jer. xv. 1): “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me” (Is. lxiii. 5): “Mine own arm brought salvation unto me”.

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.
