    Brief Summary: he phrase YOU HAVE SEEN (Ex20-18b) emphasizes the emphasis YOU PERSONALLY HAVE SEEN GOD, NOT BY HEARSAY(Dt11-02,Dt11-07)

Verse Ex20-19b discussing God's advice to the Jewish people who just experience the revelation at the Decalogue states And the Lord said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the people of Israel, You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. Rashi clarifies the underlined words you have seen by referencing verse Dt11-02,Dt11-07 which states And know this day; for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen.... But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did. Hence the Rashi comment:

There is a difference between what a person personally sees and what others only tell him since hearsay is more prone to doubt
