# 3 Enoch (Hebrew Enoch) 5:10

**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).

**Venerating Angels or Other Created Things.** Chapters 3–15 tell Enoch transformed into Metatron, enthroned and called “the Lesser YHWH” in chapter 12. Chapter 16 tells how Acher saw him seated and said there are two powers in heaven. [This issue](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/3-enoch#issue-metatron).

In that time the ministering angels brought charges (against them) before the Holy One, blessed be He, saying before him: “Master of the World! What hast thou to do with the children of men? As it is written (Ps. viii. 4) ‘What is man (Enosh) that thou art mindful of him?’ ‘Mah Adam’ is not written here, but ‘Mah Enosh’, for he (Enosh) is the head of the idol worshippers.

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.
