Hosea 12

Today I was reading the verses in Chapter 12: 2-4

"The LORD has a charge to bring against Judah; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds. In the womb he grasped his brother's heel; as a man he struggled with God. He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there - "

One of the verses that caught my attention was the verse on "He struggled with the angel".

Since noone can see God face to face, how is that Jacob saw God face to face?

Since the bible does not contradict itself, what Jacob saw was a manifestation or representation of God. This is exactly the same way that Moses saw God in a burning bush and Job saw God in a whirlwind.
