Why not count Shevet Levi in Pessukim Mem ches and Mem Tes? (2 answers)
1. They were serving Hashem and were therefore considered seperate from Bnei Yisroel
2. Hashem saw that in the future all the 20 yrs+ men would get punished with death for the Cheit Ha'egel and So Levi wont get counted and didnt do the Cheit Ha'egel - dont deserve to die.
