Pastor D. Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

In addition to being a king Melchizedek was a priest of God,
so Abram was honoring God by paying Melchizedek a tithe. In
return Abram received a blessing! God has always blessed those
who honor Him with their firstfruits.
The second account of tithing involves Jacob, Abraham’s
grandson. Jacob cheated his older brother Esau out of the family
inheritance and was fleeing for his life. The region Jacob crossed
during his journey was the area that eventually became the land
of Israel. One night as Jacob was sleeping on the ground he had
an encounter with God. The Lord told Jacob He would give him
the land on which he was lying. Jacob rose early the next
morning and took the stone he had used as a pillow and poured
oil on it saying:
This stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God’s
house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a
tenth to you. [Genesis 28:22]
