Commentary for Berakhot 11:16
וכי מאחר דאפי' תלתא עשרה מבעיא עשרה קדמה שכינה ואתיא תלתא עד דיתבי:
Since [the Shekinah is] even with three, why mention ten ? With ten, the Shekinah precedes them ; with three, it waits until they are seated [to try cases].
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
To the Synagogue and does not wait until they are assembled.
