How do we know Joseph prefigured Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's life includes many parallels to Christ, acting as a type that foreshadows Jesus' character and mission.

Joseph is often regarded as a type of Christ due to numerous parallels in his life and the life of Jesus. For instance, both faced rejection from their own people, exhibited virtues of righteousness, and were beloved by their fathers. Joseph's suffering and subsequent rise to power illustrate the redemptive process inherent in God's plan, ultimately showcased in Christ's own journey of suffering for humanity’s redemption. The Biblical text draws these connections, thereby affirming Joseph's role as a significant foreshadowing of Christ's life and fulfillment of God's promise of salvation.
