Exegesis
The passive verb eplerōthē {ἐπληρώθη | eplērōthē} ‘was filled’ takes the prepositional phrase ek tēs osmēs tou myrou {ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου | ek tēs osmēs tou mýrou} to indicate source, portraying the fragrance as the agent filling the house. In translation, the sequence of participle plus aorist verbs is rendered as simple past actions for clarity, while the genitive chain is expressed through stacked adjectives and nouns to retain the richness of description.
