Why was there no chair in the tabernacle?

Answered in 1 source

There was no chair in the tabernacle because the work of the priests was never done; they continually offered sacrifices that could not remove sin (Hebrews 10:11).

The absence of a chair in the tabernacle symbolizes that the work of the priests was ongoing and never completed. Hebrews 10:11 explains that 'every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.' This indicates that the Old Testament sacrificial system was temporary and ineffective in achieving true atonement for sin. In contrast, when Jesus offered Himself, He completed the work of atonement once for all, as shown in Hebrews 10:12, where it states that 'this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God.' This act signifies the finished nature of His work and the effectiveness of His sacrifice, making His priesthood superior to the Old Testament system.
