And indeed something like a small pouch was placed on his back for her.
جُعِلَ was placed
This is a passive verb on a 'was-made / was-placed' pattern: the thing is acted upon, not doing anything. Arabic marks the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb, not by adding 'was'. So the role-reversal, something being set up rather than setting itself up, is read off the verb's shape.

So he was an inch closer to the righteous village and was made one of its people.
فَجُعِلَ so he was made
This is a passive past verb: the man receives the action, he was made into something, rather than doing it. Arabic marks the passive by changing the internal vowels of the verb rather than adding a helper word like English 'was', and the leading 'fa-' presents this outcome as the consequence of being nearer.
وآخر منهم إن حضر في ختمة أو تلا في محراب جعل ديدنه إحضار غرائب الوجوه والسكت،
Another of them, when present at a completion or when reciting in the prayer niche, made it his habit to produce strange facial expressions and to remain silent.
جُعِلَ was made
A past passive verb 'was made'. The passive comes from the inner vowel pattern rather than a helper word, so the subject undergoes the making. Here it heads the result clause answering the earlier 'if' - 'then it was made [into] his habit'. It opens the consequence with the doer left unstated.
