Everyday words
Feeble
Start with Genesis 30:42, where the Bible uses the word feeble in a real sentence: “but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
