Enoch 60:8 and 61:12 seem to refer also to this dwelling place of the righteous. In contrast, Testament of Levi 18:10-14 and Testament of Dan 5:12 use Paradise to refer to the final Edenic state, the new Jerusalem at the end. This usage shows up a number of times in 4 Ezra as well (7:36, 123; 8:52), where Paradise seems to represent eternal life in contrast to Hell.
