A:
Yes. The anonymous author now known as the Yahwist wrote of God's face being seen. For example, God showed his face to Adam, Eve and Cain. Moses was the last to see God face to face (Exodus 33:11, Deuteronomy 34:10).

Genesis 32:24ff says that Jacob was left alone and wrestled with an opponent all night until the break of day, identifying this opponent as God since he called the place Peniel ('the face of God') because he had seen God face to face. However, this particular passage is probably originally a very early story of the rivalry between the sun god and the moon god, in which case it has a different perspective as to who this God really was.
