No. Abraham only tithed once. The tithe that Abraham did perform wasn't of his own goods, but of the spoils from Sodom. Also Abraham tithed to the local king, the King of Salem, after going to war with an adjacent city. It was a "peace offering", not a repeated example or tradition. In addition, when Abraham was told to keep the 90% he refused. Abraham chose to give the remaining spoils back to the exiled King of Sodom. If Abraham's tithe is our exampel for everday life, we're only bound to tithe once, we're to only tithe to a government official, and we're not to even keep the remaining 90%.
