AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 28:22 "This stone which I have set up as a pillar (monument, memorial) will be God's house [a sacred place to me], and of everything that You give me I will give the tenth to You [as an offering to signify my gratitude and dependence on You]." [Deut 12:8-11; 14:22-26; 26:1-11] |
Bible Question: Other than Abrahams offering presented to Melchizedek where is tithing presented as anything but on raised food? Was money ever involved other than to "redeem" a tithe by offering its value plus 20 percent? |
Bible Answer: Hi Michael, That is an interesting question. Does Gen 28:22 encompass more than produce? Jacob while praising God after seeing the vision of the ladder reaching to Heaven says "of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You". In verse 20 he mentions clothing along with food as given from the Lord. God Bless, SBoone |
