11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face,+ just as a man would speak to his fellow. When he returned to the camp, his minister+ Joshua, the son of Nun,+ as attendant,* would not withdraw from the midst of the tent.

20 And he added: “You are not able to see my face, because no man* may see me and yet live.”+

8 Mouth to mouth I speak to him,+ thus showing him, and not by riddles;+ and the appearance of Jehovah is what he beholds.+ Why, then, did YOU not fear to speak against my servant, against Moses?”+
