Second it is indisputable that Jacob agreed he would give 10% back to God
It is indisputable that Abraham gave a 10th of the possessions to a priest of God
It is indisputable that Hebrews says it was a tithe.

To me he was bargaining "if". No problem about tithes.

I disagree but whether he was or not does not change the fact he promised to tithe...so it's irrelevant

So he promised? Why was not he already doing it? Eternal principle broken here. Too many gaps, as in the law, all did not tithe.
Just keep going in circles here.

What difference does it make?
The fact is he tithing occurred before the law lol...
I've proven the only thing I set out to do and nobody has come up with an argument to the contrary.
BTW not that it is relevant since all you and JL are doing is arguing a red herring, the text indicates Jacob had not decided to be a follower of Yhweh yet
Gen 28:19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Gen 28:20 Then Jacob made 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 clothing to wear,
Gen 28:21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,
Gen 28:22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you."
as I said before the tithing was not "if you do this" rather he promised the LORD would be His God IF God did what Jacob asked.
Jacob was making a covenant with Yahweh...as part of that covenant, when Yahweh becomes Jacob's God then he will, as part of being a follower of God, tithe

Gaps in the law as well, all did not tithe. Were they not part of God's people?

That is irrelevant to what I've been arguing.

Bro. the gaps/holes prove there is not an eternal command. Just that simple. We are in a royal priesthood our selves.
Is tithing money an issue of salvation for you?

Gen 28:20 Then Jacob made 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 clothing to wear,

What didn't God do for Jacob?
