Isaiah 28:26 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:26

For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth
teach him.
] God gives the husbandman instruction and discretion how to sow his seed, at what time, and in a proper place; for this refers to what goes before; though some think a new act is here intended, namely, threshing or beating out of corn, rendering the words, "and he" (the husbandman) "beateth it out, according to the discretion", or "judgment, his God teaches him" ^F8; which is expressed in general terms here, and is next particularly insisted on in the following verses ( Isaiah 28:27-29 ) .

Isaiah 28:26 In-Context

24 Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he [continually] open and harrow his ground?

25 When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof?

26 For his God doth instruct him aright, [and] doth teach him.

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp [threshing] instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

28 Bread [grain] is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it.
