Everyday words
Withhold
Start with Genesis 23:6, where the Bible uses the word withhold in a real sentence: ““Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
