Context of Isaiah 28:26
24Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 25When he hath made even the face of it, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the wheat in rows and the appointed barley and the rye in their place? For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 27For the black cummin are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 28Bread grain is ground; because he will not always be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor grind it with his horsemen.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26For his God doth instruct him - All nations have agreed in attributing agriculture, the most useful and the most necessary of all sciences, to the invention and to the suggestions of their deities.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 26For his God doth instruct him - Margin, He bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him.‘ The more correct idea is conveyed in the text. The word יסרו yiserô properly means, he instructs, admonishes, or teaches him. The idea that skill in agriculture is communicated by God is not one that is discordant to reason, or to the general teachings of the Bible. Thus the achitectural and mechanical skill of Bezaleel and Aholiab, by which they were enabled…Read the comment
