Did Jacob see God’s face? (Gen 32:24f) Answered by Bible Q · 13 March 2010 · Add Comment Man cannot see God (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:16). Hosea 12:4 states that Jacob wrestled with an angel. So Jacob did not literally see the face of God but saw God’s messenger, the Angel of the LORD. Compare Judges 13:21-22.
