House
A "house" is essentially a container -- for a person, a family, several families or even a large group with shared interests (think of the term "houses of worship.") In the Bible, a "house" is also a container, but for spiritual things rather than natural things. In various uses a "house" can represent part of the mind, the whole mind, a whole person or even a church. The other nuance to the word "house" is that it is generally used in regards to our affections and desires rather than our thoughts and principles. This makes sense; we tend to engage our thoughts and rationality when we are out in the world doing our work, but when we are inside our houses we are driven most by love for our families and the desire to be good to those we love. So "house" tends to represent the things we want and care about -- which are ultimately the things that define us.
Arcana Coelestia #7732
7732. 'Until we get there' means until they have been removed from those steeped in utter falsities arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'getting there' - that is, to the wilderness - as being removed from the Egyptians, thus from those steeped in utter falsities arising from evil, meant by 'the Egyptians' at this point. 'Getting into the wilderness to offer sacrifice' means being in a state removed from falsities, see 6904.
