to do or make: to bring something about, whether by fashioning a thing or by carrying out an action
This is the everyday Aramaic word for getting something done. It reaches from producing a physical object (a golden statue, a royal feast) all the way to carrying out an action of any kind (working wonders, doing harm, keeping a festival, obeying a law). English has to reach for two different verbs, "do" and "make," to cover the same ground, but the Aramaic treats them as one act: bringing something into being.
Because the books it appears in (Ezra and Daniel) are full of kings and their orders, the word carries a strong flavor of official action. A ruler issues an order and it gets carried out; a court sentence is passed and it is executed on the guilty. This is why the word so often shows up in its passive form, as a formula for royal decrees: "let it be done," "let the sentence be carried out."
The three senses below are one verb seen from three angles: making a thing, doing a deed, and (in the passive) something being made or done. The core stays the same throughout, so a reader who grasps "bring about" will follow the word wherever it goes.
