roll up, coil, twist upward (of smoke)
To roll up, twist, or coil—particularly used of smoke rising and billowing. Isaiah 9:18 (Hebrew 9:17) employs this verb in describing divine judgment: 'Wickedness burns like a fire... it kindles the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.' The Hithpael form suggests reflexive or intensive action, picturing smoke spiraling upward as vegetation is consumed. The image conveys both the destructive power of judgment and its visible, ascending manifestation.
