Subject: Should we model after Jacob? |
Bible Note: Hi Steve, Don't you think Jacob is pretty good model to follow after all he was blessed greatly by God? Presumably Jacob offered ten percent of whatever God increased. I am wondering about where/to whom the offering was given. I don't see a priest or anything about helping out widows/orphans... Anyone out there have good explanation for this. |
