Note the alignment of the underlined words in the following verses
• Verse Gn29-13c discussing Laban's running to meet Jacob when he arrived states And it came to pass,
  • when Laban heard the name of Jacob his sister’s son,
  • that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his home
• Verse Gn24-29:30 discussing Laban running to meet Eliezer states
  • when he saw the ear ring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, ... ....
  • and Laban ran out to the man, to the well

Rashi focuses on the aligned verses both of which indicate reasons for Laban running to meet someone. The two reasons for Laban running to meet someone are
• upon hearing the name of a relative
• upon seeing gold and silver bracelets

Rashi's consequent comment is obvious and to the point: In both cases he was motivated by the thought of monetary gifts. Here Rashi transfers the reason of monetary pursuit indicated in one of the aligned verses to the other aligned verse. Rashi's comment is further supported by the way Laban treated Jacob. Laban's own daughters describe their status as foreigners (Gn31-15). Laban simply used Jacob to improve his assets. Thus Rashi's comments are supported
• By an alignment as indicated above
• By other verses

Sermonic Points: Rashi teaches us an important principle in the Jewish slander laws: If a person is wicked then it is prohibited to judge him favorably. Rather it is required to judge him unfavorably. Hence since Laban is wicked (he mistreated Jacob) we attribute the worse reason to his runnings.
