"Voice" in Genesis 26:5

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws (ASV)

The word בקלי (beqoliy) is a combination of the prefix ב (b) meaning "in" or "with", the root word קל (qol) meaning "voice" and the suffix י (y) meaning "of me" or "my". While most translations read "Abraham heard my voice", the Hebrew reads "Abraham heard in/with my voice". To me this means that Abraham not only heard God but God's voice is inside of Abraham and is a part of him. This would be the end of their first thought in this verse.
