The term "appertained" is used in the Bible to describe something that belongs to or is associated with a particular person, group, or thing. It often denotes a sense of belonging or rightful association, particularly in the context of property, duties, or responsibilities.

In the Old Testament, the concept of appertaining is frequently associated with the division of land, duties, and possessions among the tribes of Israel. For example, in the allocation of the Promised Land, specific portions were designated to each tribe, and these portions "appertained" to them as their rightful inheritance. This is seen in the book of Numbers, where the land is divided among the tribes, and each tribe's portion is described as appertaining to them by divine decree.

In Numbers 16:32, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed Korah, along with his household and all the men who appertained to Korah, including their possessions. This passage illustrates the concept of appertaining in terms of familial and communal association, where the fate of Korah's rebellion extended to those who were connected to him.

The Levitical duties and the priesthood also provide a context for understanding appertaining. The responsibilities and privileges of the Levites and priests were specific to their lineage and appertained to them as a divine ordinance. In 1 Chronicles 6:48, the Levites were given specific roles that appertained to the service of the tabernacle, highlighting the idea of designated duties and responsibilities.

In the New Testament, while the specific term "appertained" may not be frequently used, the concept is evident in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles regarding the Kingdom of God and the responsibilities of believers. The parables of Jesus often illustrate the idea of stewardship and the responsibilities that appertain to those who are part of God's Kingdom. Believers are called to live in a manner worthy of their calling, with certain behaviors and duties appertaining to their identity in Christ.

The Berean Standard Bible provides a clear translation of these concepts, emphasizing the rightful association and responsibilities that appertain to individuals and groups within the biblical narrative. The use of "appertained" in the BSB underscores the importance of understanding one's role and responsibilities as ordained by God, whether in the context of ancient Israel or the Christian life.

Overall, the concept of appertaining in the Bible highlights the importance of rightful association, divine ordination, and the responsibilities that come with belonging to a community or fulfilling a God-given role.(imp. & p. p.) of Appertain.
