וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר. קַדֶּשׁ-לִי כָל-בְּכוֹר פֶּטֶר כָּל-רֶחֶם, בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--בָּאָדָם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה
where it is only hindering the flow of thought. In addition, the famousמִי לַיהוָה אֵלָי
exclamation of Moshe, and the ensuing text about the Levite action, is moved from here to Massah uMerivah, that is, to right after the new position of Chag HaMatzot. Again, my assumption (based on Devarim 33:8,9; אֲשֶׁר נִסִּיתוֹ בְּמַסָּה תְּרִיבֵהוּ עַל-מֵי מְרִיבָה etc.) is that was moved by a "late" editor, likely the same one that moved Chag Matzot.
