Everyday words
Behind
Start with Genesis 18:10, where the Bible uses the word behind in a real sentence: “He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
