Hi Seokjin, I'm following the Protestant canon, and mainly referring to the NKJV, NIV, NRSV, ESV, NLT and NASB translations.

Thank you for doing this. I am reading the bible for the first time cover to cover and this really helps me along the way.

I often wondered what ever happened to Ishmael since he had separated from his father Abraham..sad event

Carole

The Lord is faithful and kept His promise and Isaac was born to Abraham & Sarah.
He also heard Ishmael crying and cared for him.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

Chris Juby

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of Genesis.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.

Find out about the project here, you can buy the Bible Summary book on Kindle or in paperback, and feel free to get in contact if you have any comments or questions.
