Words like "paradise" and "gehenna" are relatively late; but the knowledge of life after death, and punishment and reward, have always existed. At the beginning of Judaism, Abraham is told that he will come to his forefathers in peace when he dies (Genesis ch. 15). This is not mere burial; because he was not buried with his fathers. Rather, it has always been understood to mean that the righteous continue in a noble, spiritual reward after this life. There are many such verses.
