Eliphaz, I suppose, here mentions the payment of Vows, because the godly in those times did often make Vows. When Jacob (Gen. 28.20.) fled from his brother Esau, he in case of his safe return, 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 putt on, so that I come to my fathers house again in peace, then ⟨p. 268⟩shall the Lord be my God, (that is, I will own and honour him, love and depend upon him more then ever) And this stone which I have set up shall be Gods house, and of all that thou shalt give me I shall surely give the tenth to thee.
