Exodus 24:10

A church father on this verse
“Moses, of course, might be thought to have seen God with bodily eyes, if not only the Wisdom of God which is Christ but even the wisdom itself … [which] can be seen with the eyes of the flesh, or because it is written of the elders of Israel that "they beheld the place where the God of Israel had stood" and that there…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — THE TRINITY 2.15.25
