Quick answer
The festival offerings were added to the regular morning burnt offering, never displacing the continual daily worship.
Overview
The text again insists that the special feast sacrifices came 'besides' the ongoing daily offering. Israel's celebrations enriched but never interrupted the unbroken rhythm of devotion to God. This continual offering, always before the Lord, points to the perpetual efficacy of Christ's once-offered sacrifice.
