A tithe (a tenth) of all
Note also that the priest to whom Abraham gave tithes was Melchizedek. And, according to Hebrews 5–7, Jesus is our great High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek.” As our High Priest today, Jesus still receives the tithes of His believing people.
Both Abraham and Jacob experienced God’s material blessings as a result of their tithing. In Genesis 32:10, Jacob said, “I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.” When Jacob started to give tithes to God, he owned nothing but the staff in his hand. Twenty years later he was the rich head of a large and growing household.
