You are using Roman time instead of Biblical time, the Sabbath ends t sunset and the first day of the week starts at the same sunset; in the morning Jesus was already gone. In the Bible the Sabbath is never referred to as the Lord's day.
Brother, the days of the week during the 40 years in the desert were from morning to morning, as revealed in the following passage where they are given two portions of Manna on the previous day because there will be no Manna tomorrow. Importantly, the bad news that there will be no quail tomorrow if the next day begins in the "evening" is not mentioned, because they will eat quail in the "evening" before Manna is the first thing they will not have the next day. The quail not mentioned clearly shows the day begins in the morning.

On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much as usual—four quarts for each person instead of two. Then all the leaders of the community came and asked Moses for an explanation. He told them, “This is what the LORD commanded: Tomorrow will be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath day set apart for the LORD. So bake or boil as much as you want today, and set aside what is left for tomorrow.” So they put some aside until morning, just as Moses had commanded. And in the morning the leftover food was wholesome and good, without maggots or odor. Moses said, “Eat this food today, for today is a Sabbath day dedicated to the LORD. There will be no food on the ground today. (Exodus 16:22-25 NLT)​

I presume you are joking or do not know what serious is, there is nothing in the verses you quote that touch on when a day starts and ends, every day has a morning, midday, and afternoon, morning is when they had breakfast, the first meal of the day regardless of when the day starts.

In verse Exodus 16:23, Tomorrow is the rest of the Holly Sabbath unto the Lord ...... if this was said five seconds before sundown it would mean they, not God, was calling Saturday the Sabbath, if it was said five seconds after sundown it would mean they not God were calling Sunday the Sabath. What has surprised me is that the manna had to be cooked.

It is obvious that you are concocting excuses for not keeping the commandments of God.

Brother, it is not Moses who is speaking about the day with words like "tomorrow" and "today" but it is God who is speaking through Moses, as Moses tells us with the following statement: "This is what the LORD commanded". God is revealing when the day begins, and it is not in the "evening" with quail but in the "morning" with Manna.
