Inclusive numbering

Children

This method of reckoning (sometimes called "inclusive numbering") is fairly common in Scripture, for example, the Feast of Tabernacles is to last for seven days (Leviticus 23:34–36), but the last day is called the eighth day (v. 36). North found this comparison between Leviticus 23 (Feast of Weeks) and Leviticus 25 (Jubilees) to be "the strongest possible support for the forty-ninth year"[38] as the Jubilee year. His conclusion that the Jubilee was identical with the seventh Sabbatical year was followed by Lefebvre, for this as well as additional reasons.[39]
