בזה – שעוד במצרים נצטוו על זה, והחידוש בפרשתנו שהלויים – במקומם.
ובכל אופן פשוט – שהנ"ל הוא בהוספה על עוד חילוקים, שרק

Shalom u'Vrachah!
The emphasis is not merely on achieving peace and blessing in practice, as it should be (and therefore preparations are made, etc.), as has been discussed—that even in Egypt they were commanded about this. The novelty in our Torah portion is that the Levites are now in their proper place. In any case, it is clear that this matter adds to other distinctions: only the firstborn is counted. That is, if their first child is a daughter, she does not enter into this category, etc.
Summary
This letter highlights the special status of the Levites and clarifies that only a firstborn male holds certain distinctions, underscoring unique roles and responsibilities within the Jewish people.
