Exegesis
The marker et {אֵת | ʾēt} introduces the first object clause kol-asher asah YHWH {כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה | kāl-ʾă-šer ʿā-śāh Yə-hō-wāh} ‘all that the LORD did’, with the relative asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} tying back to kol {כָּל | kāl} for cohesion.
A second et {אֵת | ʾēt} introduces kol-ha-tela’ah asher metsa’atam {כָּל־הַתְּלָאָה אֲשֶׁר מְצָאָתַם | kāl-hat-tə-lā-ʾāh ʾă-šer mə-ṣā-ʾā-ṯām} ‘all the hardship that met them’, where the feminine noun tela’ah {הַתְּלָאָה | hat-tə-lā-ʾāh} takes the singular verb metsa’atam to personify affliction.
In context — Exodus 18:8
And Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to Egypt on account of Israel, all the hardship that had met them on the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
