Exodus 17:13
"But Moses’ hands were heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset."
Key Reflection
Moses' physical fatigue symbolizes spiritual weariness, while Aaron and Hur supporting his arms represent divine assistance in sustaining spiritual strength. This scene foreshadows Jesus' own heavy burden and the support he receives through the prayers of believers.
