“The Lord talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,”
The LORD spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, -- the Sinai encounter is described as 'face to face,' yet verse 4:12 said no form was seen. This apparent contradiction is resolved by understanding 'face to face' as directness (unmediated communication), not vision of God's face. The fire is the medium of encounter.
