Division of the ‘Week’ Diagram
The special festival in the middle year is actually a 'fulcrum' between two significant counts. Each 'time, times and half a time' had an additional month added to the 'base' 42 months, making a total of 86 lunar months altogether. Please examine the diagram taking note that the Day of Atonement stands independently between the two counts.
Notice how the first ‘t, t, + ½ t’ was precisely 3.5 solar years, but the second half of the ‘week’ was 1260 days. From what I can see, every Sabbatical cycle follows this pattern.
Have a look at the diagram again. The full seven years contains 1278 + 1 + 1260 = 2539 days. Divide that by 29.53 and, voila, 86 lunar months! I reckon it was more accurate than any of the modern calendars!
