What does the Bible say about Joseph's faith?

Answered in 3 sources

Joseph's faith is highlighted in Hebrews 11:22, where it shows he believed God's promises about the Exodus long before it occurred.

Joseph's faith is exemplified in Hebrews 11:22, which states, 'By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.' This reflects the extraordinary nature of his faith, as he trusted in God's promise to deliver His people from Egypt even though it would take 430 years for that promise to be fulfilled. Joseph's act of commanding that his bones be carried back to Canaan signifies his belief that God's covenant and promises were true and would eventually come to pass, making him a profound example of believing God’s Word. His life was characterized by this faith, a gift from God, seen not just in his words but also in his acts.
