Exodus 25:23-30 and Mark 15:42-47(NLT)

Exodus 25:23-30
Plans For The Table
23  “Then make a table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.
24  Overlay it with pure gold and run a gold molding around the edge.
25  Decorate it with a 3-inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border.
26  Make four gold rings for the table and attach them at the four corners next to the four legs.
27  Attach the rings near the border to hold the poles that are used to carry the table.
28  Make these poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
29  Make special containers of pure gold for the table—bowls, pans, pitchers, and jars—to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.
30  Place the Bread of the Presence on the table to remain before me at all times.
Mark 15:42-47
The Burial of Jesus
42  This all happened on Friday, the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath. As evening approached,
43  Joseph of Arimathea took a risk and went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. (Joseph was an honored member of the high council, and he was waiting for the Kingdom of God to come.)
44  Pilate couldn’t believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet.
45  The officer confirmed that Jesus was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body.
46  Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance.
47  Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where Jesus’ body was laid.
