22:12 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) “Don’t lift up your hand against the boy,” the messenger continued. “And don’t do anything to him, because now I know that you respect and obey God, since you haven’t withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר
and=he/it_said
Make sure it is clear in your translation that the angel is speaking here, not Abraham. Alternate translation: “Then the angel said,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַל תִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָֽדְךָ֙ אֶל
not lay hand,your to/towards
Consider whether your language has an idiom that has the same meaning as the Hebrew idiom here. Alternate translation: “Do not lay your hands on” or “Do not kill”
הַנַּ֔עַר
the,boy
See how you translated this in verse 5. Alternate translation: “the young man”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְאַל תַּ֥עַשׂ ל֖וֹ מְא֑וּמָּה
and,not do to=him/it anything
The angel repeats the previous command (using different words) in order to emphasize that Abraham should not hurt Isaac. Most languages can do something similar. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Do not do anything to harm him” or “You must not do anything to harm him” or “You must not harm him in any way”
כִּ֣י עַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי
that/for/because/then/when now I_know
Yahweh is the one talking here, represented by the angel who speaks on his behalf, or perhaps God is appearing to Abraham as an angel. Alternate translation: “Now I see” or “You have shown me”
Note 4 topic: translate-key-terms
כִּֽי יְרֵ֤א אֱלֹהִים֙ אַ֔תָּה
that/for/because/then/when fear ʼₑlhīmv you(ms)
See how you translated fear in Gen 20:11. Alternate translation: “that you fear me” or “that you deeply respect me”
וְלֹ֥א חָשַׂ֛כְתָּ אֶת בִּנְךָ֥ אֶת יְחִידְךָ֖ מִמֶּֽנִּי
and=not withheld DOM son,your DOM only_son,your from,me
Alternate translation: “because you obeyed me and did not hold back your son from me, yes your only son.” or “because you obeyed me and did not refuse to sacrifice your son to me, even though he is your only son.”
22:12 Now God knew that Abraham would hold nothing back from him, that he did truly fear God. To fear the Lord means to reverence him as sovereign, trust him implicitly, and obey him without protest. The sacrifice that pleases God is a heart broken of self-will, surrendered to God (Pss 40:6-8; 51:17) and offering its best to God.
• You have not withheld: Cp. Rom 8:32, which uses the same verb (“spare”) as the Greek Old Testament uses here. If God gave us his dearest possession, he will surely provide all things for us.

OET (OET-RV) “Don’t lift up your hand against the boy,” the messenger continued. “And don’t do anything to him, because now I know that you respect and obey God, since you haven’t withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
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.
