If Abraham gave tithes for us, why did Jacob offer tithes?

Jacob didn't offer tithes to Melchizidek, however. Nor were he or Abraham commanded by God to tithe to anyone, nor did either one of them do it again in recorded scripture. Why wasn't Jacob tithing all along?
So you see, there is absolutely
NOTHING substantive here to build a doctrine for compulsory tithing of 10% of one's gross income in the New Testament church?
