The medrash says that this was a punishment to Yaakov, that since he told Rochel that he didn’t have the power to help her have children, his children would stand before Rochel’s child and be told that.
But it makes no sense, because this wasn’t a punishment, because Yosef was being nice and telling them he wouldn’t hurt them because they didn’t really hurt him. So what is the punishment.
But it does make sense, because what Yaakov did wrong, was to not empathize with Rochel. She didn’t want to hear that he can’t help her- she wanted to hear that he will love her even if she has no children (maybe like elkana told chana).
Similarly, the punishment was that Yosef told the brothers that they couldn’t hurt him, instead of telling them that he loves them anyway.
This is good good pshat, and my abba bar aristotle told it to me.
