• Start — Genesis 41:53. The year the seven-year famine in Egypt began is the year Jacob goes to Egypt (2300) - 2 years = 2298
• End — no reference given. The year the seven-year famine in Egypt ended is the year the famine began (2298) + 7 years = 2305

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.
