In the Old Testament story about Joseph, the text frequently talks about Yahweh, how he was with Joseph and how he blessed him, but God does not intervene to solve problems for him or give him advice. God never talks to Joseph or appears to him. After Jacob, the next described as communicating with God is Moses.

Although the text frequently talks about Yahweh, Joseph is never portrayed as speaking of Yahweh. When Joseph talks about God (or gods), he uses the word 'elohim. This is the Hebrew word for gods (plural - the singular is El) and was used in the northern kingdom of Israel for their God, but normally in a singular context or with a singular verb. So, when Joseph talks about 'elohim (for example, to the pharaoh), this could mean God in the same sense as Yahweh, but Joseph always uses a plural verb and the sense remains if he was referring to other gods.
