Biblical figures? (7)
I believe the answer is:
numbers
'figures?' is the definition.
(figure is a kind of number)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for numbers that I've seen before include "which may knock you out?" , "Principal features of mathematics" , "Fourth OT book - figures" , "Fourth book of the Bible" , "Old Testament book -- narcotics?" .)
