All that jiberish and nobody really knows what “day” the sabbath really is.

Comment later about how the Sabbath has shifted from the seventh day of the week to Christ, Who is our “rest” every day of the week.

The words say ‘Remember thou keep holy the sabbath day’ would indicate that they are being told to maintain a tradition that had been a part of their culture.

Any "scholarly" article that begins by talking about the "real truth" has already lost my respect.

Actually there are almost 700 commandments ... the Ten (otherwise known as the "Decalogue" were just a few taken out which were the most important because they were based on religious and moral imperatives Then too, there really are only nine commandments ... the first is a statement ....

"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; "

All the rest of the six hundred or so Commandments had to do with other things such as dietary laws, etc.

Well, God did give him the 10 Commandments, to be sure — but somehow, the Jews ended up with 613 commandments... hoo-boy!

If you want to see all 613, they are here with the Scripture references, too... LOL...

The Shabbat was given to Israel alone. Non-Jews are actually forbidden to observe Shabbat (at least with regard to the prohibitions; the positive aspects such as candle lighting and the three ritual meals may actually be required).

Shabbat was given to Israel shortly before they arrived at Mt. Sinai when they were told not to gather man ("manna") on the Seventh Day of the week. However, the 'Avot (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) had already intuited all the commandments of the Torah according to the Sages.

"Who is our “rest” every day of the week."

The same One who said "If you love me, keep my commandments". Notice how the Fourth commandment says "Remember" as if the people would FORGET to worship as HE commanded.

"The Shabbat was given to Israel alone."

Were they not to be the light of the world and share the worship and knowledge of the God of Abraham OR hide it under a basket?

God knows. The seven day week has not been broken since the time of Moses.
