Crossword Genius

Book that man prepares (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hebrews

'book' is the definition.
(book of bible)

'man prepares' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'prepares' becomes 'brews'.
'he'+'brews'='HEBREWS'

'that' is the link.

(Other definitions for hebrews that I've seen before include "book before James" , "Memers of an ancient Semitic peoples" , "Jews" , "An NT epistle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
