One Biblical character of many (3)

I believe the answer is:

lot

I believe this is a double definition.

'one biblical character' is the first definition.

'many' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
