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?

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