---Our lesson is citing Abraham in Genesis 14 as giving a tithe to Melchizedek the priest-king of Salem, maybe Jeru-salem.

---When Genesis is cited in the lesson, Jacob in Genesis 24 with the ladder experience, you will have much to fill in your mind about it from short notes I have written on Genesis at the following download:

---It will help you to see the broad picture of the true Word of God.

---Bible was written with care and is not a book with contradictions and misrepresentations as the “drunk scholars” of the Victorian Period who tapped into the drinking club of the young Hegelians of 1844 was concluding in their bars and wrote about it. Person? Bruno Bauer and his friend Karl Marx. Drunk on the streets of Berlin and Bonn riding donkeys in the street and went to a church to laugh with no respect.

---Moses is using a source called the Book of Noah (which is a scroll on vellums =they used vellums to write on in those days because Thutmosis III saidthat in one of his Annals at Karnak on the wall) which his mother gave him the night he fled (probably, see Genesis 5:1). This Book of Noah was composed during Noah’s long life after the Flood since Noah died in 2392 BCE because he lived 300 years after the Flood which was in 2592 BC according to the Hebrew Text of the Bible. Chapter 10 is an extract from Noah’s hand. The reason we know that is that in verse 19 it reads: “as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha

For this author of verse Genesis 10:19, Sodom and Gomorrah still existed. For Moses in 1460 BCE, Sodom and Gomorrah was already destroyed since‚ the invasion of the Jordan Salt-sea area valley was probably directly after 2165 BCE, thus between 2165-2153 BCE (Genesis 14:4). In the 13th year they rebelled thus in 2152 BCE. The suppression of the revolt was in the 14th year in 2151 and Lot was taken as well. The disaster to Lot is after the sin of birth of Ismael and the disbelief in God’s ability with the promise through Sarah. In that year 2151 BCE, Melchizedek met Abraham (Genesis 14:18). The incident of the lie in Egypt took place shortly before the invasion of the Jordan area by Amraphel and the others in 2165 BCE. One can almost say the punishment for his lies in Egypt was the invasion of the Jordan valley near the salt-sea. The punishment for the Hagar event was the kidnapping of Lot. Bad foreign practices came in the valley of Jordan and God had to eliminate Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18; 19). This

was after 2151 BCE‛ (see my article in IJRSSH) 2017, Vol. No. 7, Issue No.

---Tithe payment is one tenth or 10%.

---The system was used by Sumerians as well as cuneiform tablets at Drehem shows.

“The interesting fact from the archaeology of Mesopotamia, is that a market city existed at Drehem, about 12 miles from Nippur, the temple city and at Drehem (ancient Puzrish Dagan) subjects of the king Shulgi delivered their sheep, cows, lambs and other offerings as tax to him. However, suddenly in 2047 BCE the market stopped receiving deliveries. The next 40 years was a downturn for Mesopotamia and the powerful Ur III empire came to a halt in 2004 BCE with the invasion of the Elamites.” (page 175) The text from this market with tithes paid which is currently at Andrews University in the James White Library, dates to 2053 BC.

---Tithe is not uniquely only an Israelite institution. Like Footwashing in the Bible.

---Jacob at the ladder experience promised God to pay tithe.

---Did you have a ladder experience with God? Is your life right with God? Have you ever paid tithe in your life?

---Tithe = God’s blessing. Shrink tithe and you shrink blessing. This is not VR virtual reality. This is real. Tap into God immediately.
