IT's far more simple than what most think. Give tithes in faith and God will bless. Period! It's really getting legalistic to split hairs and break down what tithing was in the Old Covenant compared to day, as though it's demanding you cannot even call it tithing if it's not strictly the way the Law said it was. Irony is in trying say we're not under law, but using legalistic detailing and strictness to say what tithing should be if we were under law when we're not giving tithes in the way law stated to begin with, nor even think to do so!

I believe you're correct.

Just making an observation.

Genesis 28:20-22
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

What scripture did Jacob have to base his trust on?
