He saw D’mut D’yukno (the countenance) of his father. (Sotah 36b)

הוּא דָּבָר נִסְתָּר מְאֹד, אֵיךְ הַדְּמוּת נִתְרָאֶה, וְהוּא בְּעַצְמוֹ אֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ, כִּי בְּוַדַּאי יַעֲקֹב לֹא יָדַע. וּמַעֲלַת הַנִּסָּיוֹן, אַף שֶׁרָאָה דְּמוּת דְּיוֹקָנוֹ, הֵם דְּבָרִים נִסְתָּרִים וּמְכֻסִּים מִבְּנֵי אָדָם.
