This noun means 'at times' or 'once', used adverbially in the accusative to mark an occasion. Arabic uses this bare accusative to say 'on one occasion'; repeated later, it sets up a 'sometimes ... sometimes' rhythm.

تَارَةً at other times
This noun again means 'at times', adverbial in the accusative, marking a second occasion. Paired with the earlier one, it builds the rhythm of 'on one occasion ... on another', a recurring framing of God's varied address.

He commanded them at times, praised those who perform them at other times, and warned of woe and punishment for those who abandon them at other times.
تَارَةً at other times
This noun again means 'at times', adverbial in the accusative, marking the third occasion. Closing the 'sometimes ... sometimes ... sometimes' pattern, it frames the warning as one of God's recurring modes of address.

and sometimes to a bald man who was present,
تَارَةً sometimes

وَإِلَى إِقَامَةِ الْإِعْرَابِ تَارَةً ؛
And sometimes to preserve the grammatical inflection.
تَارَةً at times
The same adverb 'at times', in the adverbial accusative, closing the 'sometimes...sometimes' series. It marks this third occasion, completing the list of things his attention wanders to.
