Genesis 28 vs 20 -22

20 And Jacob vowed 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 raiment to put on,

21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:

22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

What Does Genesis 28:20 Mean?

  1. Jacob vowed to give God a tithe even when tithing had not become mosaic law.
  2. Jacob vowed to give God a tithe even when God had not given the ten commandments.
  3. Jacob vowed to give God a tithe prophetically through a personal revelation.
  4. You can also vow to give God an offering prophetically, like Jacob.

Why Jacob made a vow to tithe

  1. To ensure divine presence.
  2. To ensure divine protection.
  3. To banish hunger.
  4. To banish poverty.
  5. To provoke divine prosperity.
  6. To ensure divine provision
  7. To guarantee safe travels.
  8. To live in peace.
  9. To ensure fullness in all undertaking.
  10. To banish sudden death.
