Midrash for Numbers 28:24
כָּאֵ֜לֶּה תַּעֲשׂ֤וּ לַיּוֹם֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים לֶ֛חֶם אִשֵּׁ֥ה רֵֽיחַ־נִיחֹ֖חַ לַיהוָ֑ה עַל־עוֹלַ֧ת הַתָּמִ֛יד יֵעָשֶׂ֖ה וְנִסְכּֽוֹ׃
After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; it shall be offered beside the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
Sifrei Bamidbar
(Bamidbar 28:24) "As these shall you offer each day for seven days.": Why is this written? For (were it not written) it would follow, (otherwise), viz.: Since Succoth requires a festival offering, and Pesach requires a festival offering, therefore, just as the offering of Succoth decreases progressively (each day [viz. Bamidbar 29:12-13]) so should that of Pesach decrease progressively. It is, therefore, written "As these shall you offer each day" — neither to increase or to decrease. "in addition to the continual burnt-offering shall it be offered, and its libation": We are hereby apprised that the mussafim (of Pesach) are sacrificed only between the two (temidim).
