Biblical character wielding an oar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aaron

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

'biblical character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'wielding an oar' is the wordplay.
'wielding' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'an'+'oar'='anoar'
'anoar' anagrammed gives 'AARON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aaron that I've seen before include "Brother of Moses, led the Jews to the Promised Land" , "Fanfare for the Common Man composer" , "Brother of Moses who had blessed rod" , "Boy" , "high priest" .)
