According to Habakkuk, God is so bright and powerful like a shining light, and his power is so strong that it hides in his hands, showing like beams or rays. This helps us understand how amazing and mighty God is, even if we can't always see all of his strength.

Habakkuk 3:4: And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns [coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his power. [horns...: or, bright beams out of his side]

Contradiction with 1 John 1:5

This verse states that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, while Habakkuk 3:4 mentions brightness as light but originates from His hands hiding part of His power, suggesting partial concealment.

1 John 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Contradiction with Exodus 33:20

This verse says no one can see God's face and live, while Habakkuk 3:4 implies the visibility of His brightness.
