Kabbalah for Exodus 18:1
וַיִּשְׁמַ֞ע יִתְר֨וֹ כֹהֵ֤ן מִדְיָן֙ חֹתֵ֣ן מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֵת֩ כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ לְמֹשֶׁ֔ה וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַמּ֑וֹ כִּֽי־הוֹצִ֧יא יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃
Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel His people, how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Zohar
"When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses's father-in-law, heard of all that Hashem had done for Moses" (Exodus 18:1). Rabbi Chizkiyah opened the discussion, saying: "And Aaron lifted up his hands" (Leviticus 9:22). "His hands"is spelled without a Yud, thus meaning one hand only. And this is the reason, one should lift up his right hand above his left hand. And we have already explained this secret.
