In the beginning . . . he [the All-father] appointed rulers, and bade them judge with him the fate of men, and regulate the government of the celestial city. . . . Their first work was to erect a court or hall wherein are twelve seats for themselves, besides the throne which is occupied by All-father. This hall is the largest and most magnificent in the universe, being resplendent on all sides, both within and without, with the finest gold.
