Numbers 33 recounts the journey of the Israelites through the desert. We find out a few random details - Aaron died about 40 years after leaving Egypt. The Israelites also had left Egypt the next morning after the Passover, not in the middle of the night.
The recounting ends with them poised to go into the promised land. When they take the land, they have to drive out all the inhabitants or else they will become "like splinters" and God will do to the Israelites what God planned for the Canaanites. They are also supposed to divide up the land by lot.
Numbers 34 outlines the geographic boundaries of the land, plus names the people who are in charge of dividing up the land.
