Dear George,
I'm comfortable with that part-about POIEW being used for celebrating
rituals and holding banquets and the like. It's the weight of the perfect
tense that I'm trying to assess. Does it mean, essentially, that Moses
"inaugurated" this feast?

See BDAG s.v. POIEW 2f for comparable usages.

PISTEI PEPOIHKEN [MWUSHS] TO PASCA KAI THN PROSCUSIN TOU hAIMATOS (Heb.
11:28).
Zerwick-Grosvenor says that PEPOIHKEN, as perfect, refers to "inauguration
of a rite still observed". This seems reasonable to me, but I also find
perfect forms tossed in as though they were aorists occasionally in the GNT.
Is Zerwick-Grosvenor over-interpreting the perfect here?
