Everyday words
Southward
Start with Genesis 13:14, where the Bible uses the word southward in a real sentence: “Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
