The Third Book of Enoch / 3 Enoch (or Sepher Hekhalot of R. Ishmael) is a Jewish mystical document of late Antiquity.

Overview

The book tells of the ascent of Rabbi Ishmael to heaven where he receives a series of revelations from the angel Metatron, with whom Enoch has been identified. The work seems to have used various parts of Ethiopic and Slavonic Enoch, though there is no trace of the characteristic ideas of the Parables.
