Ibn Ezra on Numbers 28:10/אבן עזרא על במדבר כ״ח:י׳

אבשבתו. שב אל יום השבת אע"פ שנמצא כל שומר שבת מחללו והטעם כל שבת ושבת כמו יום ביומו:

1OF EVERY SABBATH. The vav suffixed to the word shabbat¹³ in the word shabbato (every Sabbath). refers to the day of Sabbath.¹⁴ is feminine. Thus Scripture should have used the term shabbatah if the reference was to every Sabbath. Hence I.E.’s comment that the vav refers to the word yom in verse 9, which is masculine. Thus according to I.E. we should render shabbato (every Sabbath) as every Sabbath day. This is so even though we find the word me-challelo¹⁵. (from profaning it¹⁶ as masculine.) in Every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it (Is. 56:6). The meaning of be-shabbato (of every Sabbath) is, every sabbath and sabbath. Compare, yom be-yomo (daily) (Ex. 5:13).

בעל עולת התמיד. הטעם אחרי התמיד שישים עליה עולת שבת:

2BESIDE THE CONTINUAL BURNT-OFFERING. This means after the continual burnt offering. The Sabbath burnt offering shall follow it.¹⁷
