Genesis 27:20

And He-Laughs is saying toward his builder, `What is this one you have made haste to find, my builder?` And he is saying, `For has caused to meet Yahweh your elohe to my faces.`908

Footnote:

908

Literal sentence order. The verb to meet, encounter is in the causative Hiphil. Hiphil verbs are not reflexive. Yahweh is not meeting himself with Jacob but causing elohe to meet with Jacob’s faces.
