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
