Divine secrets, the Seven Halls and Metatron. They seem like the perfect element for a sci-fi blockbuster. One without knowledge of the pseudepigraphic texts would make the connection between the three elements and the 3 Enochs. First translated by Dr. Hugo Odeberg in 1928, 3 Enoch or the Hebrew Book of Enoch has rarely been touched upon by scholars due to a lack of background information. It is known to have been written by Ishmael ben Elisha, whose work can be traced back to the second century and focused on the Talmud. Some deductions can be made about this text. There are two other works by Enoch, The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) and The Secret of Enoch (2 Enoch). Most of the Book of Enoch was written during the Maccabean revolt, but some scholars claim that the second half of the Book can be dated as early as the first century BC. 2 Enoch, like 3 Enoch, is also difficult to date, but can be dated around the end of the 1st century BC, due to the language in which it is written. From the available knowledge about these texts, we are able to date when this text was written and which communities used this text. It is clear that 3 Enoch was written later than both of Enoch's other works, but not much later. His character of Enoch has already been established and it is not considered a shock when he reveals himself to Rabbi Ishmael. Therefore it can be dated towards the end of the 3rd century BC and up to the 1st century AD. Another way to date this text is to compare it with other pseudepigraphic texts. The Pseudepigrapha contain texts that were falsely attributed to biblical texts. The Hebrew work in the Pseudepigrapha predates 200 AD so estimating that 3 Enoch was written in the second century is an appropriate guess. Knowing that it is a pseudepigraph, we can further analyze aspects of the text such as the
