Commentaire sur La Genèse 41:16
וַיַּ֨עַן יוֹסֵ֧ף אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֛ה לֵאמֹ֖ר בִּלְעָדָ֑י אֱלֹהִ֕ים יַעֲנֶ֖ה אֶת־שְׁל֥וֹם פַּרְעֹֽה׃
Joseph répondit à Pharaon en disant: "Ce n’est pas moi, c’est Dieu, qui saura tranquilliser Pharaon."
Rashi on Genesis
בלעדי NOT I— (the word is compounded of בל and עדי, it does not extend to me) The wisdom to interpret dreams is not my own, but God will answer — He will put in my mouth an answer that will be for Pharaoh’s welfare.

Rashbam on Genesis
בלעדי, this matter does not depend on me but on G’d; He may let me know how to put your mind at ease.

Sforno on Genesis
בלעדי. Even though you have said ופותר אין אותו, that there is no one who knows how to interpret it, as if I were the only exception who possesses the necessary wisdom, I am convinced that there is certainly someone beside me who knows the answer.
