After the plague when 25,000 Israelites died, God ordered another census of the people. Notice that the second numbering God adds an inheritance for the tribes. Earlier when the tribes were to bring offerings to the Lord, the offerings were the same no matter how small or large the tribe was. This time the land is allotted to them based on the number of names.

In the land inheritance, Joseph is left out, his sons Ephraim and Manasseh are in, Levites are left out in the land allotment as well.

Interesting that in the numbering of the Levites it makes it clear that both Moses’ parents were from the tribe of Levi.
