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.
