Where in the bible does it actually say that?
Right next to where it says to attack your trans neighbors to distract from the policy failures of your politicians.

The closest argument that "the Bible argues for a work week" is the first two chapters of Genesis. God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th.
.... That's it. That's the whole reason our work week is the way it is. Jewish tradition really ran with that, and Christianity started as a Jewish sect. And of course for-profit business tried to jam as much work as possible into that framework. You can thank unions for the second day in your weekend.
Everything else here, the "10 hours a day" and whatever else, is all just embellishment, possibly citing other parts of the Bible to make it sound more plausible.
