Leviticus was almost one year to the day since God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. Note the differences in the types offerings (means of atonement) in Exodus (more about redemption) and Leviticus (more about worship).
The four Books of the Pentateuch following Genesis are a continuation from the previous Book and therefore Genesis - Deuteronomy can be considered one Book. The "and" beginning in some of them signifies a continuation from earlier.
Numbers in Hebrew means "wilderness.
The beginning of Leviticus is day one of the first month of the second year since leaving Egypt. Numbers 10:10 is the 20th Day of the 2nd month of the 2nd year, so the span of time between the first of Leviticus and Numbers 10:10 is only about a 45-50 day period.
There are two sets of numberings ordered by God in Numbers (three in total, with the first being in Exodus 30:11-12). There is almost 40 years time between the second numbering in Numbers 1-3 and the third number in Numbers 26. The Levites were counted in a separate manner and for a different purpose. The rest of the Israelites were counted for purposes of fighting men (sons 20 years old and older), and therefore, the count is not of all peoples (no woman, girls, children).
