It is for us as well, but do you think God would overlook the intent?
I dunno. I'm inclined to think that if something is spelled out specifically in the Torah, that's the way G-d wants it done. Especially considering how vague many other commandments in the Torah are. If something is spelled out specifically, like the Sabbath being on a certain day, then that's when He wants it observed.
Although if someone is genuinely unable to keep the Sabbath when its supposed to be observed and tries earnestly to make up for it on another day...He may let it slide, depending on the circumstances (I've heard quite a few rabbis say that Judiasm has an "A for effort" policy.) I wouldn't count on this though, because of the precedent it might set.
