What does Exodus 17:12 mean?

Moses' arms got so tired he couldn't hold them up anymore. So Aaron and Hur got a stone for him to sit on, and they stood on either side, holding up his hands. His hands stayed steady until sunset. Exodus 17:12 - Modern Text Bible

(Moses can't do it alone—he needs help from his friends to keep going, and together they make it through.)
