What is the function of the cup that Joseph puts in his brothers' sacks of grain at the end of his story?

Joseph used it to put Benjamin in a situation where his brothers would have to protect Benjamin or let him suffer.

Since Judah rose up and chose to take Benjamin's place as Joseph's slave (the penalty for theft), Joseph realizes that his brothers have learned their lesson.
