Mount near Jerusalem to be found in Old Testament (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

olivet

'mount near jerusalem' is the definition.
(Mount Olivet, mountain ridge near Jerusalem)

'be found in old testament' is the wordplay.
'be' becomes 'live' (to be is to live or exist).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'old testament' becomes 'ot'.
'live' put inside 'ot' is 'OLIVET'.

'to' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
