Full Lexicon Entry(Abbott-Smith)
a house, dwelling: ἐν οἰκίᾳ, at home; εἰς οἰ.; οἰ, with genitive of person(s), usually has the art. ; ἡ οἰ. πατρός μου. Metaphorical, (a) of the body as the dwelling of the soul: (b) of property (as בַּיִת, LXX, υπάρχοντα;, LXX, οἶκος) = *οἶκος *(which see): (with) of the inmates of the dwelling, the household
Synonyms
οἶκος, which in Attic law denoted the whole estate, οἰκία, the dwelling only. In cl. poets *οἶκος *has also the latter sense, but not in prose, except in metaphorically usage, where it signifies both property and household.

LXX: chiefly (very freq.) for בַּיִת
