and=he/it_was after the,things the=these
This is the beginning of a new episode that takes place around twelve years after Abraham and King Abimelech made their treaty (chapter 21). See how you translated “after those events” in Gen 15:1; it may be necessary to translate this phrase in a slightly different way here because of the different context. Alternate translation: “Sometime after those things happened” or “Several years later”
וְהָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים נִסָּ֖ה אֶת אַבְרָהָ֑ם
and,the,God tested DOM ʼAⱱrāhām
Make sure your translation of this clause does not sound like the test was over. Rather it introduces what the following episode is about. Alternate translation: “God wanted to test Abraham.”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר
and=he/it_said
Make sure it is clear in your translation who is speaking here. Alternate translation: “Abraham replied to him,”

Abraham’s reply is respectful and means that he is listening and ready to do what God wants him to do. Consider what is the best way to say this phrase in your language. Alternate translation: “Yes, Master?” or “What is it, Lord”
22:1 Some time later: Abraham had sent Ishmael away and settled in the land. Now God tested Abraham’s faith by telling him to give up Isaac. This pushed the limits of logic and of Abraham’s knowledge of God. Would he still obey when God seemed to be working against him and against the covenant? Would he cling to the boy or surrender him to God (see Exod 13:11-13)? Did he believe that God would still keep his word and bless the world through Abraham’s offspring?

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
