This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I have seen God face to face; not in his essence, for so no man ever saw God, Joh_1:18, nor yet in a dream or vision, but in a most evident, sensible, familiar, and friendly manifestation of himself.
My life is preserved; I am now well assured of my safety from Esau, whose approach threatened my life. Or he speaks of it with wonder, as others did, that he should see God, and not be struck dead by the glory of his presence. Compare Gen_16:13 Exo_20:19 Jud_6:22,23 13:22.
