Jethro saw weariness on the face of his son-in-law and said, “Look, relinquish some of your duties.” Because Moses followed his father-in-law’s wise counsel, he didn’t wear out. I believe it became easier for him. Moses probably started looking younger. In fact, by the end of his life (at one-hundred-and-twenty!) it could be said of Moses, “his eye was not dim, nor was his vigor abated” (Deuteronomy 34:7).
