הִבָּ֣דְל֔וּ מִתּ֖וֹךְ הָעֵדָ֣ה הַזֹּ֑את וַאַכַלֶּ֥ה אֹתָ֖ם כְּרָֽגַע׃
שײדט אײַך אָפּ פֿון צװישן דער דאָזיקער עדה, און איך װעל זײ פֿאַרלענדן אין אַ רגע.
Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing
Every procedure of a sacred character should only take place in a congregation of Israelites, as it is said; "And I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel" (Leviticus 22:32). All the recitals, referred to above, if begun when a quorum of ten was present, of whom some left, though they are not authorized to do so, are concluded by those who remain.
