What does Exodus 17:12 mean?

Moses’ arms got tired, so they put a stone under him to sit on. Aaron and Hur held up his hands—one on each side—so his hands stayed steady until sunset. Exodus 17:12 - Modern Text Bible

(Moses can’t do it alone; Aaron and Hur help him keep his hands up, showing the need for support in tough times.)
