Everyday words
Leave
Start with Genesis 2:24, where the Bible uses the word leave in a real sentence: “Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
