why does the the Array.slice method work this way?

Question

I am using Ruby2.7 and trying to slice a an Array with the method Array.slice which I thought sliced an Array with given arguments of indices.

what I have tried:

nums = Array((0..100)).slice(4, 9)
puts nums

the output is:

[4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]

I expected it to output:

[4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Why does Array.slice work this way and how do I actually slice an Array with indices?

I can do it easily in python like:

list[index1:index2]
