Everyday words
Touches
Start with Genesis 26:11, where the Bible uses the word touches in a real sentence: “Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
