Let's address each part of these verses with a pictorial calendar of each day spoken of in the verse.
Lev 23:8: But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh seven days:
The "seven days": 15th=1st day 16th=2nd day 17th=3rd day 18th=4th day 19th=5th day 20th=6th day 21st=7th=last day of feast complete at evening.
These days of time ABOVE have now already gone by, and which day is now left, and comes NEXT in the verse AFTER the 21st day?
in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein]
22nd=the seventh day of the week, and the eighth day.
Exo.12:15: Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread;
The "seven days": 15th=1st day 16th=2nd day 17th=3rd day 18th=4th day 19th=5th day 20th=6th day 21st=7th day=last day of feast at evening.
for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day,
Ken, IF this " seventh day" is referring to "the seventh day of the feast=21st" then how can you eat unleavened bread for a full "seven days"(15th day through the 21st day at evening) and NOT eat unleavened bread ON the "seventh day=21st" of the feast??
It's impossible to eat unleavened bread for a full "seven days=15th day through the 21st day" without also eating unleavened bread on and through the 21st=7th day of the feast, or otherwise you would only be eating unleavened bread for "six days" and not "seven days".
The feast is "seven days" long, and NOT "six days" and the verse says, whosoever eats leavened bread UNTIL the seventh day, and this "seventh day" is in reference to the 22nd day=the seventh day of the week.
