Some confusion about second prophet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moses

'prophet' is the definition.
(Moses is an example)

'some confusion about second' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation**).
'some' anagrammed gives 'moes'.
'moes' going around 's' is 'MOSES'.

(Other definitions for moses that I've seen before include "Lawmaker" , "Prophet found in a basket" , "He led the Jews from bondage in Egypt" , "Hebrew prophet - basket used as baby cradle" , "Grandma - - , painter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
