I have for years maintained that tithing was part of the ceremonial law but have as late begun to rethink my postion.
Would the following passage seem to indicate that there was a systematic method of giving before the law?:
Gen 28:20 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,
Gen 28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
Gen 28:22 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.
Also bearing in mind that Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. Where did Abraham and Jacob come up with this number if there was no tithe in place befor the law??
BTW, Pink has got me thinkin' again.
