Lift/accept the face
Here’s what it means
Someone showed favor, accepted a person, or treated that person with partiality.
Why the Bible says it this way
An idiom is a familiar phrase whose meaning comes from the whole expression, not from reading each word by itself.
A helpful detail: The exact shade depends on context: it can mean gracious acceptance or improper favoritism.
