Talmud do Amosa 4:12

Rebbi Idi in the name of Rebbi Simeon in the name of Rebbi Yoḥanan said: No man should pray when he has an urge to go to the bathroom¹⁴⁹In the Babli (Berakhot 23a) this appears as a statement of R. Samuel ben Naḥmani in the name of Rebbi Jonathan. It is really a Tosephta (Berakhot 2:18).. What is the reason? (Amos 4:12) “Prepare yourself before Your God, o Israel!” Rebbi Alexandri said: (Eccl. 4:17) “Watch you feet when you go to God’s house”; watch yourself from the drops that drip from between your feet. That means, for urine. But for defecation, if he can bear it, let him bear it¹⁵⁰The Babli disagrees and states that prayer is only permitted when one is able to walk 4 mil without going to the bathroom (about a 70 minutes’ walk)..

Rebbi Aḥa the son of Rebbi Simeon³¹³As noted, read: R. Idi in the name of R. Simon (ben Laqish). in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: No man should stand at an elevated place and pray. What is the reason? Rebbi Abba the son of R. Pappai said: From the depth I call on You, Eternal!³¹⁵Ps. 130:1. Rebbi Ada bar Simeon in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan said: No man should pray when he has an urge to go to the bathroom. What is the reason? Israel, prepare yourself before Your God.³¹⁶Am. 4:12. Rebbi Alexandri said: Watch your feet when you go to God’s house³¹⁷Eccl. 4:17.; watch yourself from the drops that drip from between your feet. That means, for urine. But for defecation, if he can bear it, let him bear it. Rebbi Jacob bar Abiah in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: Watch your feet when you go to God’s house; watch yourself when you are called to God’s house that you should be pure and innocent. Rebbi Abba said: Your fountain shall be blessed³¹⁸Prov. 5:18., your being called to the grave shall be blessed. Rebbi Berekhiah said: A time to be born and a time to die³¹⁹Eccl. 3:2., hail to the man whose hour of death is like the hour of his birth; just as at the hour of his birth he was innocent so at the hour of his death may he be innocent.
