How do we know that Jesus is a type of the Hebrew servant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is a type of the Hebrew servant as He embodies the themes of voluntary service and perfect obedience to God's will.

The identification of Jesus as the embodiment of the Hebrew servant is rooted in the internal evidence found within Scripture. The Old Testament contains numerous types and prophecies that are fulfilled in Christ, showcasing His role as the voluntary servant. The servant in Exodus chooses to remain in servitude out of love, a direct reflection of Christ's submission to the Father and His willingness to die for His people. In Psalm 40 and further referenced in Hebrews 10, the Scriptures affirm that Christ's ears were opened in obedience, paralleling the act of the Hebrew servant who has his ear pierced to signify a permanent commitment to his master. Thus, Christ's life, death, and ongoing intercession fulfill the shadows laid out in the law.
