OET (OET-LV) And_they_came to the_place which he_had_said to_him/it the_ʼₑlhīmv and_he/it_built there ʼAⱱrāhām DOM the_altar and_arranged DOM the_wood and_bound DOM Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) his/its_son and_he/it_assigned DOM_him/it on the_altar on_top of_the_wood.
OET (OET-RV) Then they came to the place that God had told him, and Abraham built an altar there and arranged the firewood on it. Then he tied up his son Yitshak and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ אֶֽל
and=they_came to/near
Alternate translation: “After they got to” or “After they arrived at” or “After they reached”
הַמָּקוֹם֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽמַר ל֣וֹ הָאֱלֹהִים֒
the,place which/who he/it_had_said to=him/it the=ʼₑlhīmv
See how you translated this phrase in verse 3. Alternate translation: “the mountain that God had told him to go to”
וַיִּ֨בֶן שָׁ֤ם אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶת הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ
and=he/it_built there ʼAⱱrāhām DOM the,altar
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated altar in Gen 13:4, 18. Alternate translation: “Abraham made a stone altar there”
וַֽיַּעֲרֹ֖ךְ אֶת הָעֵצִ֑ים
and,arranged DOM the,wood
Abraham arranged the wood on top of the altar so that it would burn well. Make sure your translation of this phrase does not sound like he lit the fire yet; he did not do that until verse 13 when he sacrificed the ram. Alternate translation: “and laid the wood on top of it.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וַיָּ֤שֶׂם אֹתוֹ֙ עַל הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ מִמַּ֖עַל לָעֵצִֽים
and=he/it_assigned DOM=him/it on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altar on,top of_the,wood
Consider which order of these phrases is the clearest and most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and put him on top of the wood that was on the altar.”
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.

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.
