According to the Bible, Moses did have a face-to-face encounter with God. In Exodus 33:11, it is mentioned that "the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend." However, in Exodus 33:20, God tells Moses, "You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." This suggests that while Moses had a close relationship with God and had direct communication with Him, he did not see God's full glory or face.

According to the Bible, Moses did not see God face to face.
Exodus 33:20
_"But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live."_
However, Moses was granted a special glimpse of God's glory.
Exodus 33:21-23
_"Then the LORD said, "There is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.""_
Moses saw God's "back" or "afterglow" as He passed by. This was as close as any human has ever come to seeing God directly.
