In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. A medieval Karaite Jewish practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.Īccording to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days.

You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. “You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering.
