Commentary for Berakhot 46:14
ת"ר הרוצה ליכנס לסעודת קבע מהלך עשרה פעמים ד' אמות או ד' פעמים י' אמות ויפנה ואח"כ נכנס
Our Rabbis have taught : Who wishes to partake of a regular meal should walk a distance of four cubits ten times, or a distance of ten cubits four times, and relieve himself ; after that he should enter [the dining-room].
