²² And Gideon seeth that He `is' a messenger of Jehovah, and Gideon saith, `Alas, Lord Jehovah! because that I have seen a messenger of Jehovah face to face!'

²⁰ He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

³⁰ And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for `I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'

²⁶ For who of all flesh `is' he who hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us -- and doth live?

⁴¹ these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

¹⁸ God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

⁵ And I say, `Wo to me, for I have been silent, For a man -- unclean of lips `am' I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'

⁶ And flee unto me doth one of the seraphs, and in his hand a burning coal, (with tongs he hath taken `it' from off the altar,)

⁷ and he striketh against my mouth, and saith: `Lo, this hath stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity, And thy sin is covered.'

⁸ And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying: `Whom do I send? and who doth go for Us?' And I say, `Here `am' I, send me.'

²² And Manoah saith unto his wife, `We certainly die, for we have seen God.'

²³ And his wife saith to him, `If Jehovah were desirous to put us to death, He had not received from our hands burnt-offering and present, nor shewed us all these things, nor as `at this' time caused us to hear `anything' like this.'

²⁴ and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man -- and he hath lived.

⁵ I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the mount; saying:

¹³ And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou `art', O God, my beholder;' for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'
