TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

22:9-19 God’s intervention was dramatic and instructive, confirming that he never intended for Isaac to be sacrificed. God later made it clear that child sacrifice was an abomination to him (see Lev 18:21; 20:1-5; Deut 18:10; 2 Kgs 16:2-3; Isa 57:5; Jer 32:35). God wanted Abraham to sacrifice his own will and surrender it to God, and when he did, God intervened. This passage sets a pattern for all sacrificial worshipers. Like Abraham, true worshipers of God know that everything belongs to God—it all came from God and must therefore be acknowledged as God’s possession. A true worshiper holds nothing back but obediently gives God what he asks, trusting that God will provide for all needs, and then discovering through experience that God always does so.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֤ח אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶת־יָד֔⁠וֹ וַ⁠יִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת

and,reached_out ʼAⱱrāhām DOM his/its=hand and=he/it_took DOM the,knife

Consider whether it is better in your language to use a noun or a pronoun to refer to Abraham here. See how you translated knife in verse 6. Alternate translation: “Then he took the knife in his hand”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לִ⁠שְׁחֹ֖ט אֶת בְּנֽ⁠וֹ

to,slaughter DOM his/its=son

In the process of sacrificing, the first step was to kill the sacrifice and then burn up the body on the altar. If necessary, you could make that information explicit in your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: “in order to kill his son before sacrificing his body on the altar.”
