Exodus 33:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 When Moses entered the tent, a column of cloud descended and remained at the entrance to the tent, and the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 The whole people saw the column of cloud that stood at the entrance to the tent, and they all got up and worshiped at the doors to their tents. 11 Thus the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He then returned to the camp while his servant Joshua, son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the tent.[a]

- Exodus 33:11 Moses meets the Lord face to face: this account is from a different source than the one in verse 20, which says that it is impossible for even Moses to see the face of God. The sacred writer is not concerned to harmonize the two divergent traditions.
