Distribute the entire first part of the Bible (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allot

'distribute' is the definition.
(I know that distribute can be written as allot)

'entire first part of the bible' is the wordplay.
'entire' becomes 'all' (I've seen this in other clues).
'first' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'part of the bible' becomes 'ot'.
'all'+'ot'='ALLOT'

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for allot that I've seen before include "Ration" , "Hand out" , "Assign or distribute" , "Designate; sounds like much" , "appropriate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
