See how you translated lifted his eyes and looked in Gen 18:2.
וְהִנֵּה אַ֔יִל אַחַ֕ר

A ram is an adult male sheep or goat. See how you translated this term in Gen 15:9. Alternate translation: “and suddenly he saw a ram behind him”

וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ אַבְרָהָם֙ וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת־הָאַ֔יִל
and=he/it_went ʼAⱱrāhām and=he/it_took DOM the,ram
For some languages it may be necessary to explicitly state that Abraham untied Isaac and took him off the altar before he sacrificed the ram. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “So after releasing Isaac, he took the ram from the thicket” or “So he untied Isaac, went over to the ram and untangled it.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיַּעֲלֵ֥הוּ לְעֹלָ֖ה
and,offered_~_up,it as,burnt_offering
Animals that were sacrificed to God as burnt offerings were killed first before they were burned on an altar. Make sure your translation does not sound like the ram was burned alive. If that is not clear, you could make some of the above implied information explicit in your translation. Alternate translation: “Then he killed the ram and burned it on the altar as a offering to God”
תַּ֥חַת בְּנֽוֹ
below/instead_of his/its=son
Alternate translation: “as a substitute for his son.”
22:13 God provided a ram caught by its horns in a thicket for the sacrifice. God graciously allowed Abraham to substitute an animal sacrifice in place of Isaac. Later, all Israel would offer animals to the Lord, knowing that God’s grace had provided this substitution (Exod 29:10; Lev 4:15; 16:20-22). In the New Testament, God substituted his only son for all humanity; the perfect sacrifice was made once and for all (Isa 53:6, 10; John 1:29; Heb 7:27; 10:1-14; 1 Pet 3:18).

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.
