Quotation for Shevuot 14:10
יכול על כל טומאה שבקודש יהא שעיר זה מכפר תלמוד לומר (ויקרא טז, טז) ומפשעיהם לכל חטאתם חטאים דומיא דפשעים מה פשעים שאינם בני קרבן אף חטאים שאינם בני קרבן
Now, I might have thought that for these three types of uncleanness this ['inner'] goat atones, therefore the text says: Of the uncleannesses of the Children of Israel,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XVI, 16: The of (of) is taken as partitive, implying some of, and not all.');"><sup>13</sup></span> and not 'all the uncleannesses'.
Sefer HaIkkarim
The substance of a thing is also called place, as the Rabbis say, “From its own place the matter is proved,” also, “Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His place.” The last expression means that the glory of the Lord which appeared to the prophets emanated from God’s own essence without a mediator, and not that the glory has a place.
