הָאֻמָּנִין קוֹרִין בְּרֹאשׁ הָאִילָן אוֹ בְרֹאשׁ הַנִּדְבָּךְ, מַה שֶּׁאֵינָן רַשָּׁאִין לַעֲשׂוֹת כֵּן בַּתְּפִלָּה:
Les ouvriers peuvent réciter le Shema au sommet d'un arbre ou au sommet d'un nidbach [un rebord de pierre, comme dans (Esdras 6: 4): "nidbachin di even g'lal" ("rangées de pierres lourdes"). Bien qu'ils craignent de tomber et ne puissent pas se concentrer, les sages ne leur ont pas demandé de descendre; car seul le premier verset du Shema exige de la concentration], ce qu'ils ne sont pas autorisés à faire pour la tefillah (Shemoneh Esreh) [car la prière est l'imploration de la miséricorde, et elle exige de la concentration, de sorte qu'ils doivent descendre pour prier.]
Tosefta Berakhot
A carrier, even though his burden is on his shoulder, he may read [the Shema]. But while he is unloading [the burden] and loading [the burden] he should not read, because he is not paying attention [to what he is saying]. Either way [i.e. whether he is carrying or loading, or unloading], he should not pray [the Shemoneh Esreh] until he [completely] unloads [and can stand in one place without holding his load].

Tosefta Berakhot
Workers [must] read [the Shema even while they are sitting] on top of a tree. And they [can] pray [Shmoneh Esreh] on top of an olive tree or on top of a fig tree. But [if they are on top of] all other trees, they [must] go down to pray [Shmoneh Esreh]. The owner of the house [must] go down regardless [what kind of tree he is on top of] and pray [Shmoneh Esreh]. Workers [must] read the Shema and say a Beracha (blessing) before it and after it. [When] they eat their bread they [must] say the Beracha before it and after it. And they [must] pray three times [a day] Shmoneh Esreh, but they do not go in front of the pulpit [to lead the congregation].
