Turn over books received by judge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotate

'turn over' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'books received by judge' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'ot' (Old Testament).
'received by' is an insertion indicator.
'judge' becomes 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging**).
'ot' going within 'rate' is 'ROTATE'.

(Other definitions for rotate that I've seen before include "Move round centre" , "Revolve" , "Alternate" , "Make to spin around" , "Go around" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
