Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

MAKE. In Judges 18:3 ‘to make’ means ‘to do’ ‘What makest thou in this place?’ In John 8:53 ‘Whom makest thou thyself?’, and John 19:7 ‘He made himself the Son of God,’ ‘make’ means ‘pretend to be’; cf. Joshua 8:15 ‘Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten.’ This is the meaning also in 2 Samuel 13:5 ‘Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick.’ In Ezekiel 17:17 ‘Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war,’ ‘make for’ means ‘assist.’
