Torah Temimah — Menachos 27b

Core Text of Chazal

רַבָּנַן הַהוּא לָא מָצִית אָמְרַתְּ, דְּהֵיכָל כֻּלּוֹ אִיקְּרִי קֹדֶשׁ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְהִבְדִּילָה הַפָּרֹכֶת לָכֶם בֵּין הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּבֵין קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים.

English

The sages establish from this verse that the entire Heichal is called 'Kodesh.' The verse itself distinguishes the Kodesh from the Kodesh HaKodashim, so 'the Kodesh' includes the whole Heichal.
