Enoch 22 — The Four Hollow Places for the Spirits of the Dead

Book of Enoch · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And thence I went to another place, and he showed me in the west another great and high mountain [and] of hard rock.

2And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. How smooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at.

3Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: ‘These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here.

4And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period [till the period appointed], till the great judgement (comes) upon them.’
