He did not steal anything. He won these in war. That is what your bible says.

Praxeas,
Before I respond to your post, I'm going to repost question you overlooked. Perhaps you can answer it? The first one:

Genesis 28:22-22 reads:
20) Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “ if God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
21) so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the LORD will be my God
22) and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”
We clearly read Jacob giving God terms and conditions, which God must adhere to before Jacob gave a tenth of “his” possessions. In short, Jacob states, God, only if you bless me first, then shall I give you a tenth! This in itself contradicts modern-day tithe teachings. Again, which principle was god establishing when he agreed to Jacob’s terms? As we read Jacob’s story, it’s evident that God accepted Jacob’s proposition.
