Christ, the Solitary Savior
Commentators explain that the high priest performing the atonement alone is a powerful symbol of Jesus Christ's work. Just as no one could enter the tent to assist the priest, no one could help Jesus accomplish salvation. As John Gill notes, Christ's 'own arm wrought salvation, and of the people there were none with him.' He is the sole mediator and savior, and the glory for our atonement is His alone.
