As the Israelites battle Amalek at Rephidim, Moses, Aaron, and Hur overlook the battle atop a hill. When Moses raises his arms up, the Israelites dominate the Amalekites, but when Moses&#8217; arms drop, Amalek prevails. Verse 17:12 relates, \u201c[Over the course of the battle,] Moses\u2019 arms grew heavy so [Aaron and Hur] placed a stone under him so he could sit, and Aaron and Hur supported his hands\u2014one on each side\u2014and so his arms remained steady until dusk.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this moment, the success of the Israelites depended on their leader\u2019s humility. In view of the entire people, Moses could have let his ego rule him, spurning Aaron and Hur lest he look weak. Had Moses refused help from Aaron and Hur, the entire community would have been wiped out. His display of physical weakness was a sign of inner strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exodus 17 reminds us that leaders are more successful with the support of their teams. The power imbued by status and titles can seduce leaders into monopolizing roles within a project, wanting to be the reason for the team\u2019s success. Furthermore, society applauds the frontman (and it is overwhelmingly often a man.) Paul McCartney more quickly comes to mind than George Harrison when hearing the Beatles\u2019 \u201cLet It Be\u201d; Steve Jobs is consistently lauded as the creator of Apple over co-founders Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. However, rarely can one person alone accomplish what a group of like-minded people can achieve. The image of Moses\u2019 weakening victory arms held up by his \u201csupport staff\u201d reminds us that all members of the team are necessary for success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image: William Brassey
