Moshe was the only one to ascend to Heaven in his lifetime. That is the 12 bamidbar
place of undiluted truth, where nothing is hidden. Even the Satan himself
taught Moshe the secrets of the ketoret in halting an epidemic.
Just as a person exerts himself to understand the mitzvot of the Torah, so
too, is he enjoined to attempt to understand the chukim, to the best of his
ability. This is alluded to in the similarity between the words Chukat and
Bechukotai. The injunction to “toil in Torah,” indicated by the word
Bechukotai, applies also to the chukim, which we cannot fully understand.

“Hashem spoke to Moshe and to Aharon,
saying: This is the decree of the Torah, which
Hashem has commanded, saying: Speak to the
Children of Israel, and they shall take to you a
completely red cow, which is without blemish,
and upon which a yoke has not come”

(Bamidbar 19:1-2)
