Yes, so the mitzvah from G-d is to lean one hand.

Does Hashem say "and not the second"?

We have a mitzvah to say Shema every morning -- does that mean that
Hashem told us not to say the Amidah too? Or, we fulfil the Torah's
command of Shema, and also say other things.

Your question presumes that Hashem said "lean one hand" meaning "and not
two". It would seem MRAH understood Him to be saying "and I am not telling
you what to do with the other". Giving Moshe room to lean with that one
hand AND the other.

:-)BBii!
