Quick answer
The Sabbath offering was added to, not a substitute for, the continual daily burnt offering, layering rest-day worship onto everyday devotion.
Overview
The text stresses that the special Sabbath sacrifice came 'besides' the regular daily offering, so the weekly rhythm enriched rather than replaced the daily one. This careful accumulation taught Israel that no act of worship cancels the ongoing call to walk with God. In Christ the layered sacrifices are fulfilled, His single offering accomplishing what these repeated rites could only foreshadow.
