Why are you standing outside?

So the man came to the house
The word "came" can be translated as "went." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-go)

It is not clear who did this work. This may be stated in active form. AT: "Laban's servants unloaded the camels" or "the camels were unloaded" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

This does not say who did the work. If you state this in active form use "Laban's servants" as the subject. AT: "Laban's servants gave straw and feed to the camels, and they provided water" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
