Through ignorance - Through inadvertence. See Leviticus 4:2 note.
In the holy things of the Lord - The reference is to a failure in the payment of firstfruits, tithes or fees of any kind connected with the public service of religion by which the sanctuary suffered loss; compare Numbers 5:6-8.
Shekel of the sanctuary - See Exodus 38:24 note.
