 Rav Huna explained that it is because God is the Place of the world (the world is contained in God, and not God in the world).Rabbi Jose ben Halafta taught that we do not know whether God is the place of God's world or whether God's world is God's place, but from which says, "Behold, there is a place with Me," it follows that God is the place of God's world, but God's world is not God's place.Rabbi Isaac taught that reading "The eternal God is a dwelling place," one cannot know whether God is the dwelling-place of God's world or whether God's world is God's dwelling-place.
