Jeremiah speaks of it more than a dozen times. He calls it HaMakom and is referring to the temple in Jerusalem (as in Jeremiah 28:1-6) where the context is quite clearly, the temple. He uses the Hebrew name HaMakom four times in those few verses.
HaMakom was the ancient and traditional name for the temple site—the sacred site visited by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and many others and consistently called HaMakom. John in his gospel even referred to it as ‘the place’ (in Greek ho topos) on three occasions. It was the name of the temple and its special site!
