Can you see the Lord's face and live? Verse 11 says that the Lord spake to Moses face to face. Verse 20 says that no man can see the Lords face and live.	Date: Apr 23, 2008 By: ed 1 Problem 0 Solutions

I don't know this is the answer, but it sounds good. Moses may have seen the reflection of the Lord's face.

I dont know where in the first verse it says he saw Gods face, just that he spoke with him face to face. God may have been cloaked therefore having his face covered. When God usually spoke to prophets they just heard his voice and were not in his physical presence. Where as Moses and Abraham were, but God has his face covered.

Moses was was probably talking face to face with God the Son Jesus Christ because in John 10:30 Jesus says "I and my Father are one" and John 14:9 " he that hath seen me hath seen the Father"
