Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יְמַלֵּא־טֶ֣רֶף חֹרָ֔י⁠ו וּ⁠מְעֹֽנֹתָ֖י⁠ו טְרֵפָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: lion tore for,the_sufficiency_of its_cubs_of,his and,[it_was]_strangling for,lionesses_of,its and,it_filled prey holes_of,its and,dens_of,its torn_flesh )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [he filled his caves with prey, that is, his dens with torn carcasses]

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [he filled his dens]
