Everyday words
Toward
Start with Genesis 10:19, where the Bible uses the word toward in a real sentence: “The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah,…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
