Exegesis
The temporal genitive phrase tou sabbatou {τοῦ σαββάτου | toû sab-BA-tou} functions as a genitive of time, idiomatically referring to the weekly cycle anchored in the Sabbath, so the sense is “twice in the week.”
In context — Luke 18:12
I fast twice in the week ; I give tithes of all that I acquire .
