Exegesis
The second clause marks the trench as the direct object with ʾet-hattəʿālāh {אֶת־הַתְּעָלָ֖ה | ʾet-hattəʿālāh}, then describes a completed outcome with millēʾ-māyim {מִלֵּא־מָֽיִם | millēʾ-māyim}, where “water” functions as the content of what fills the trench, naturally expressed in English as “filled … with water.”
