וְיוֹסֵף֙ בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה בְּעָמְד֕וֹ לִפְנֵ֖י פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיֵּצֵ֤א יוֹסֵף֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וַֽיַּעְבֹ֖ר בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
A Josef miał trzydzieści lat, gdy stanął przed Faraonem, królem Micraim. I wyszedł Josef z przed oblicza Faraona, i przeszedł całą ziemię Micraim.

Sforno on Genesis
ויעבר בכל ארץ מצרים. In order to supervise the storage facilities in the cities and to organize matters. We find the prophet Samuel as traveling the length and breadth of the country instead of waiting for the people to come to him in Samuel I 7,16, וסבב בית אל...והמצפה, “and he made the rounds (annually), starting at Bet El and finishing at Mitzpah, his home.”

Tur HaArokh
ויצא יוסף , “Joseph went forth.” This refers to Joseph’s reputation which spread all over the land. The word ויצא is used in a similar context in Ezekiel 16,14 ויצא לך שם בגוים, “your fame went forth among the nations.” Alternately, Joseph went on a whirlwind tour of Egypt, a country that he had been totally unfamiliar with up until then.

Radak on Genesis
ויעבר בכל ארץ מצרים, he did not travel for pleasure but in the course of his new duties he had to traverse the whole country. His task consisted primarily of supervising that his instructions were being carried out.
