Exegesis
The narrative shifts to upward motion with vayyaʿal {וַיַּעַל | way-yaʿ-al} ‘and went up’, whose subject ashano {עֲשָׁנוֹ | ʿă-šā-nô} ‘its smoke’ contrasts with the prior descent.
In context — Exodus 19:18
Mount Sinai was smoking everywhere because the LORD came down upon it in fire ; its smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled intensely.
