Verse Meaning

"The section breaks down into two groups of three laws each, carefully introduced by the clause "and Yahweh spoke to Moses" (..., Numbers 33:50; Numbers 34:1; Numbers 34:16; Numbers 35:1; Numbers 35:9; cf. Numbers 36:6) and surrounded by the phrase "on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho" (..., Numbers 33:50; Numbers 35:1; Numbers 36:13)." [1]

Context Summary

Numbers 33:38-56 - No Compromise With Idolatry
Aaron's death must have been deeply felt by his brother Moses. During the great crisis of Hebrew history they had been so closely associated that the wrench must have been very considerable. In addition, there was the recollection of the sin which had excluded the two brothers from Canaan. In the Epistle to the Hebrews the death of Aaron is recorded to set forth the eternal priesthood of Christ, Hebrews 7:17. Our High Priest has no successor; His office cannot be passed to another. It is not after Aaron, but Melchizedek.
The last paragraph, Numbers 33:50-56, is especially impressive. There must be no complicity with evil; for if there be, it will eat out the very heart of our character and happiness. It is much better to root out evil with a strong hand than to suffer it in any form, for, like the boomerang of the savage, our sinful permissions will come back on ourselves. [source]
