Appurtenance

Appurtenance is something subordinate to another, more important thing; adjunct; accessory.

In one of the sections of Nehemiah written in the first person, the author made Hanan in appurtenance to Shelemiah, Zadok, and Pedaiah, in regards to maintaining the storehouses. (Numbers 13:13)

In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen. (Nehemiah 13:13, NASB)
