- Start — Jeremiah 1:1. The year Jeremiah's time as prophet begins is year 13 of Josiah's reign + 1 year for accession year undercount = (3321 + 13 + 1) = 3335
- End — Jeremiah 1:3. The estimated year Jeremiah's time as prophet ends is 11 years after Mattaniah's (Zedekiah's) reign began (3365 + 11) = 3376
Notes

[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p92] END:Jeremiah prophesied 23 years (JER 25:3). See The Sequence of Events in the Old Testament by Shulman, p173 [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p103]
Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
