Dear All,
1. "WAYISHTAHU" in Genesis 47:31 is a reflexive verb.
2. It seems to me therefore that "YISRAEL", as well as being the subject of the sentence, is also the OBJECT of the sentence. 3. What then is "MITAH"?

HH: It is the part of the prepositional phrase that modifies the verb by telling where he worshiped.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
