Who is Jacob in the Bible?

Jacob was the younger of twin sons of Isaac. The other son being Esau who sold his birthright to Jacob for a "Mess of pottage". Both were enemies from childhood until reconciled in later life. Jacobs name was later changed to Israel. Some would have it that he deceived his father so that he might receive the blessings of Isaac, but as Esau was not a righteous son the blessing was sanctioned by the Lord upon Jacob, who was righteous all the days of his life.


Whom did Jacob pay tithes to?

The Torah and the Talmud don't record that information. The simple meaning of the verse is that Jacob would give his tithes to whomever he found to be worthy and needy. This could include poor people and servants of God. By the time of Jacob, the teachings of Abraham had begun to take root, and there were some servants of God to be found. Also, the righteous disciples of Malki-Tzedek (Genesis ch.14) hadn't yet died out. Note that the Ibn Ezra commentary (on Genesis ch.28) agrees with this explanation. The Ramban commentary seems to hint that Jacob was alluding to the future Holy Temple (to which the tithe of yearling sheep would be brought. Leviticus ch.27). The Midrash says that Jacob fulfilled this vow when he set aside the Tribe of Levi as servants of God.

Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?And Laban said, It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the first-born. Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years."So Laban basically told Jacob, "Finish your honeymoon with Leah, and then I'll give you Rachel also."So the timeline was:Jacob is engaged to Rachel.Jacob serves Laban 7 years as her bride price.Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah instead.Jacob has a week-long honeymoon with Leah.Jacob marries Rachel, also.Jacob serves Laban another 7 years to pay for his second wife.
