Joseph's own dreams are starting to come to fruition.

Should be recognized not recognised in the first sentence

Elizabeth, that's a spelling variation between UK and US English. I'm in the UK, where 'recognised' is the correct spelling.

Don't get discouraged because of being picky about spelling or the english. They know what the you are saying. I thank God that you are taking the time to help others get interested in learning the Bible and share their comments.You are doing a great Job! May God bless you.

The story of Joseph is like a rejected stones becoming a cornerstone

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.
