A version of Bible included in set for Cambridge University (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harvard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for cambridge university' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a version of bible included in set' is the wordplay.
'a version of bible' becomes 'var' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'included in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'set' becomes 'hard' (similar in meaning).
'var' inserted into 'hard' is 'HARVARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harvard that I've seen before include "Ivy-league university" , "American university" , "Oldest US university" , "Member of the 11 at Cambridge, Massachusetts" , "US Ivy League university" .)
