5933. 'And a voice was heard in Pharaoh's house' means that it filled the entire natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'a voice that is heard' somewhere else far away, used in reference to an inflowing, as being filled, for just as a voice that is heard fills somewhere, so does anything inflowing; and from the meaning of 'Pharaoh's house' as the entire natural, for 'Pharaoh' represents the natural in general 5160, 5799.
