Commentaire sur La Genèse 48:19
וַיְמָאֵ֣ן אָבִ֗יו וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ יָדַ֤עְתִּֽי בְנִי֙ יָדַ֔עְתִּי גַּם־ה֥וּא יִֽהְיֶה־לְּעָ֖ם וְגַם־ה֣וּא יִגְדָּ֑ל וְאוּלָ֗ם אָחִ֤יו הַקָּטֹן֙ יִגְדַּ֣ל מִמֶּ֔נּוּ וְזַרְע֖וֹ יִהְיֶ֥ה מְלֹֽא־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
Son père s’y refusa et dit: "Je le sais, mon fils, je le sais; lui aussi deviendra un peuple et lui aussi sera grand: mais son jeune frère sera plus grand que lui et sa postérité formera plusieurs nations."

ידעתי בני ידעתי I KNOW IT, MY SON, I KNOW that he is the first-born.

Or HaChaim on Genesis
וימאן אביו ויאמר, His father refused, saying, etc. The reason the Torah uses the word "he refused," is to indicate that Joseph had taken hold of his father's hand to try and place it on Menashe's head.
