It is implied that God his holding a sword, and here "his hand" represents that sword. Also, "pierced" represents killing. Alternate translation: "With his sword he pierced the fleeing serpent" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

"the serpent as it was trying to escape from him." This refers to Rahab, the monster in the sea. See Job 26:12.
