a.shan describes smoking in scenes involving mountains and, in a complaint to God, anger directed against a flock.

The clearest attested use describes mountains smoking when touched or affected by God; a further use expresses anger as smoking against the flock. In two additional contexts, the supplied APB wording does not isolate the term's contribution clearly.

1. Smoke rising from mountains · dominant

   In Exodus 19:18, the Qal perfect occurs in the description of Mount Sinai, where the APB renders that the mountain was wrapped in smoke and its smoke rose like that of a kiln. In Psalm 104:32 and Psalm 144:5, Qal imperfect plural forms occur after God touches the mountains; the APB renders that they "smoke."

   Exodus 19:18Psalm 104:32Psalm 144:5
2. Anger smoking against a people · common

   In Psalm 74:1, the Qal imperfect singular stands in the question addressed to God after "Why... have you rejected forever?" The APB renders the clause, "Why does your anger smoke against the flock of your pasturing?" Deuteronomy 29:19 and Psalm 80:5 contain Qal forms in contexts of stubbornness and tears, but the supplied translation does not identify the term's specific English contribution there.

   Psalm 74:1Deuteronomy 29:19Psalm 80:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the mountain contexts with "smoke" or "smoking" and Psalm 74:1 with anger that "smoke[s]." In Deuteronomy 29:19 and Psalm 80:5, the supplied translation does not visibly preserve a corresponding English expression.
