Distribute the whole first part of the Bible (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allot

'distribute' is the definition.
(allotting is a kind of distributing)

'the whole first part of the bible' is the wordplay.
'the whole' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'first' says to put letters next to each other.
'part of the bible' becomes 'ot'.
'all'+'ot'='ALLOT'

(Other definitions for allot that I've seen before include "grant" , "budget" , "Give as a share, or a task to be done" , "Dedicate" , "Ration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
