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.

1070. Verse 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and he was uncovered in the middle of his tent.

'And he drank wine' means that he wished to probe into matters of faith. 'And he was drunk' means that he consequently sank into errors. 'And he was uncovered in the middle of his tent' means resulting perversities, 'the middle of the tent' being the chief thing of faith.
