I whizzed through Saturday's Araucaria, until
I got to the last one I need and that is
7 Down, which is "Parcel out from Genesis to Malachi". I have A-L-T and would assume the
answer is "ALLOT", but I can't see where Malachi comes into it. If it's a biblical reference, I don't think Lot was ever mentioned in Malachi - perhaps some kind soul can enlighten me?

I too put in allot without understanding it - I hope that someone else will explain it for us!

OT old testament. Genesis to Malachi I think are all the books. That's part of the way there.

Thanks for getting in touch ChrisE and to rossim - I'm more than happy to accept this explanation.

Thanks, rossim - "all the old testament", which runs from Genesis to Malachi, meaning "portion out". (Wikipedia reports that the "Minor Prophets" (including Malachi) were originally placed earlier, but the order was changed)

Got it! Parcel out is the def. G to M is ALL the OT.
