Biblical character not so much unemployed (7)
I believe the answer is:
jobless
'unemployed' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'biblical character not so much' is the wordplay.
'biblical character' becomes 'job'.
'not so much' becomes 'less' (I've seen this before).
'job'+'less'='JOBLESS'
(Other definitions for jobless that I've seen before include "Out of work" , "Without employment" , "Unemployed" .)
