Percentage of firstborns in the tribe of Levi

Hello Rabbi Michael,

Regarding the story of the Desert, I noticed that the percentage of firstborns in the tribe of Levi (1 in 73) is quite low. This calculation stems from the fact that when the sons of Levi are counted, the result is supposed to be 22,300, but the verse says 22,000 for some reason (Numbers 3:39). And the commentators mention the tractate of Bekorot, in which they make the excuse that the 300 are the firstborn of the tribe of Levi, and therefore were not mentioned in the count for the purpose of redeeming the firstborn of Israel. On the other hand, from this interpretation it follows that the percentage of firstborns is illogically low, especially since it is significantly different from the percentage of firstborns in the other tribes (1:27). So I raise two possibilities. This interpretation may not necessarily be correct, and it is possible that there were more firstborns, but then the omission of 300 Levites must be justified by another reason (the question is which). And another possibility, that the percentage of firstborns was indeed really low, due to an extreme birthrate in the tribe of Levi. The problem with the second possibility, which I read about the tribe of Levi, for which the decree of firstborns was not decreed (Lior's projection) and therefore the blessing Yes, it will increase and yes, it will break out did not apply to him, and this is also the reason why the tribe of Levi is the smallest tribe (22,000 compared to an average of about 55,000 per tribe in the other tribes – meaning only men aged twenty and over, of course). Therefore, logic says that the percentage of firstborns in the tribe of Levi should be higher than the percentage of firstborns in the other tribes of Israel, but the numbers show the opposite (1 in 73 in the tribe of Levi compared to 1 in 27 in the other tribes). I would love to hear your opinion on this issue.
