One Biblical character of many (3)
I believe the answer is:
lot
This clue is a double definition.
'one biblical character' is the first definition.
(Old Testament figure)
'many' is the second definition.
(a lot of something)
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for lot that I've seen before include "The French department" , "Could there be many at the auction?" , "Auction item, great deal" , "crowd ..." , "Great deal; French river" .)
