“Exhortation” might sound like it’s simply a matter of telling people what to do, but there are a number of aspects of exhortation that the author uses to send his message. See some of the variety found in Hebrews in the table below.

Types of ExhortationReference
Advising Features: Exhort readers to a certain positive behavior.Hebrews 2:1; 3:1, 13
Admonishing Features: Warn or dissuade readers from adverse behavior.Hebrews 5:11–6:8; 10:25-31
Encouraging Features: Remind readers of past or ongoing behavior.Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25, 39
Consoling Features: Console readers over troubles that befall them.Hebrews 2:16, 18; 10:32-34
