The phrase "slow as Moses" likely originates from the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites through the desert for 40 years. The journey was perceived as slow and tedious, hence the comparison. Additionally, Moses is often portrayed as deliberate and patient in his actions, further reinforcing the idea of slowness. Overall, the expression is used to emphasize a significant degree of sluggishness or delay.
