In this chapter, Moroni uses this word eight times, "exhort". I could list where they are mentioned, but I'll let you read them.
This type of teaching is of no significance. Moroni is not only using the word to teach, but the word to teach symbolically. The pattern of eight (8) has a meaning of new, i.e. new creature, new life, a new way or beginning.
Ancient prophets used this method to heighten or increase the importance of the message to people. Such a method causes one to think deeper or to take more time with the presented passages. The presented theme has logic, or perhaps a formula to calculate. Case in point, a star, a circle, numerous triangles.
I like Moroni 10:32 teaches us to come unto Christ and become perfected in Him.
