Biblical bearers (5)
I believe the answer is:
asses
'biblical bearers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for asses that I've seen before include "Fools; animals" , "Braying animals" , "Pompous fools" , "dim bulbs?" , "Fools; beasts of burden" .)
