"The Jubilee Count"

---

Hi John & All:

 

I just wanted to say that, while I enjoy Miriam's scholarly work, I disagree with her reported method of counting the Jubilee years. If this methodology was in fact biblical, there would still not be 10 full Jubilees within 490 years, because the last Jubliee would not even start until the 491st year.

 

But there is another little problem with this methodology, which I have taken the trouble to outline below:
