שֶׁתַּעֲלֵנוּ בְשִׂמְחָהלְאַרְצֵנוּ וְתִטָּעֵנוּ בִּגְבוּלֵנוּ, וְשָׁם נַעֲשֶׂה לפָנֶיךָ אֶתקָרְבְּנוֹת חוֹבוֹתֵינוּ, תְּמִידִים כְּסִדְרָם וּמוּסָפִים כְּהִלְכָתָם. אֶתמוּסְפֵי יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת הַזֶּה, וְיוֹם רֹאשׁ הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה, נַעֲשֶׂהוְנַקְרִיב לְפָנֶיךָ בְּאַהֲבָה כְּמִצְוַת רְצוֹנָךְ

2. 'Speak to the children of Israel, andhave them take for Me an offering; from every person whose heart inspires himto generosity, you shall take My offering. 
  
Among the various items used tobuild the Mishkan were the tachash skins that were used as the outer coveringof the Mishkan as well as a slipcover for the vessels of the Mishkan whiletraveling through the desert. 
  
David was once walking in thewilderness and climbed upon a hill—which turned out to be, not a hill, but theback of the massive re’em. The re’em raised David up to the clouds (eitherbecause it was so big when it stood up, or perhaps because it had wings andtook off). David prayed to God to save him 
  
The Alshich HaKadosh (TorasMoshe, Shemos 26:14) connects the Tachash to the coming of Mashiach. There aretwo ways Mashiach can arrive; in the proper time (in the normal process of theworld) or אחישנה, swiftly (see Yeshaya 60:22, Sanhedrin 98b). The word אחישנהshares the same root as the word Tachash. 
  
The Arizal (Eitz Chaim 49:3)says that the Tachash is the spark of holiness in Kellipas Noga. With this inmind we can see that the Mishkan itself was inherently Kadosh (like theMitzvos) whereas the covering of the Mishkan represents the Kedusha that inunleashed when we elevate the physical world (Kellipas Noga).
