SIBI-P1 H6227-09

and like smoke

Rootעשן (ʿ-š-n)
Core Meaningssmoke, vapor, fuming, burning emission
Semantic Rangeliteral smoke from fire, vapor or fumes, dust-like clouds, figurative expression of anger, wrath, or transience
Conceptual SignificanceSmoke in the Hebrew Bible often signifies transience and frailty, but also divine presence (e.g., Sinai) or judgment and wrath. Its imagery evokes both ephemerality and the visible effects of burning power.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + comparative preposition כְ (with segol before guttural) + noun עָשָׁן, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עָשָׁן is a masculine singular absolute meaning "smoke." The prefixed וְ conjunction adds "and," and the prefixed כֶ expresses comparison ("like/as"). The rendering "and like smoke" preserves both the root sense of smoky vapor and the singular masculine form indicated by the morphology.
