AI Summary
ποιέω is a common, very broadly used verb meaning "to do" or "to make" 1234. It covers almost any kind of action, from producing a physical thing to carrying out a deed, and English translations vary a great deal depending on context 2.
In its "make" sense, it covers producing, creating, or causing something to exist 13. It is used of God as Creator, and elsewhere of producing or bringing forth things such as fruit or crops 13; it can also mean to make ready or prepare something, such as a meal or a feast 1. In one further use it means to appoint or install someone to a role 3.
In its "do" sense, it means to perform, carry out, or act in a given way 13. It is used of doing deeds or works, performing signs, keeping commandments, doing what is right or true, and acting well or badly toward someone 1. It can also describe observing a religious festival or the Sabbath, and offering a sacrifice 13.
The verb is also regularly paired with a noun to express the action that noun names, functioning much like the corresponding single verb would — for example "make war," "make peace," "make a journey," or "make a plot" 13. Used of time, it can mean to spend or pass a period, or to stay somewhere for a time 13.

The lexicons it was drawn from, in full:
Abbott-Smith — the 1922 lexicon entry, in full
ποιέω, -ῶ,
[in LXX for a great variety of words, but chiefly for עשׂה;]
SYN.: πράσσω, q.v. The general distinction between the two words is that between particular action and its habitual performance (cf. Tr., Syn., § xcvi; Westc. on Jo 3:21; ICC on Ro 1:32).
