The expression the "e;face of God"e; is a familiar one to Bible scholars and its meaning has long been a point of disagreement, especially in its use with the verb "e;to see"e;. While some scholars dismissed the expression as merely a metaphor with little significance, others have compared it to the 'face' of gods and goddesses of the ANE religious context, where worshippers sought an audience with their 'divine' king.
