The Sabbath is Saturday. There is no command not to work on Sunday.

Deutronomy 5:12-15"12 "Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."

the verse you seek is in the ten commandments, but is referring to saturday as the sabbath, not sunday. christians changed it to sunday. exodus 20 and deuteronomy 5 both list the commandments.

Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments
(verses 8 and 9 specifically for your question) oh and FYI sunday hasn't always been the Sabbath. It originally(before Jesus Christ "came" A.K.A. Old Testament) was Saturday (still celebrated on saturday by jewish people), and i believe it was Christians after 100 A.D.that kind of "switched" it to Sunday.
1Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2"(A)I am the LORD your God, (B)who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3"(C)You shall have no other (D)gods [a]before Me.
4"(E)You shall not make for yourself [b]an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
5"(F)You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a (G)jealous God, (H)visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6but showing lovingkindness to (I)thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7"(J)You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8"Remember (K)the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9"(L)Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it (M)you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
11"(N)For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
12"(O)Honor your father and your mother, that your (P)days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13"(Q)You shall not murder.
14"(R)You shall not commit adultery.
15"(S)You shall not steal.
16"(T)You shall not bear false witness against your (U)neighbor.
17"(V)You shall not covet your neighbor's house; (W)you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
18(X)All the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance.

Actually, all it says is "On the 7th day you shall do no work" as the days in the first books of the bible do not give names to the days, besides for "first day," "second day," etc.
See Exodus 31:15-17.

The actual verse has been given, but it starts at sundown on Friday night and ends when 3 stars are in the sky on Saturday night.

The emperor Constantine declared Sunday as a day of rest. It was on the history channel last night.
