Here is the earliest text of the Sefer Yetzirah in my possession.1730ce Venice. It is part of a Tikun Leil Shavuot text. There is a celestial maggidic lineage tradition with this little book. The angel called Raziel guardian of secrets is the guardian of the text and her secrets. Same gematria as Avraham and Rav Avraham Abulafia claimed this connection with Raziel. The author of the book is declared to be Avraham in the text. Avraham Avinu. The year 5040 Rav Abulafia went to visit Rome is mentioned as a sacred number in this text. 5040 being the factorial of seven. "Seven Stone".
There is a cipher in the text connected to what day of the week, Hebrew month and season a person is born. To have the EBEN stone mentioned in the book-aleph-beit-nun' you need to be born on a Sunday in Chesvan. To fully possess the sacred stone a person would also need to know why.
This "stone" is the eben shetiyah of the true beit hamikdash holy temple.
¶ 4. Twelve simples: He, Vav, Zayin; Het, Tet, Yod; Lamed, Nun, Samech; Ayin,
Tsadeh, Qof. He engraved them, hewed them, tested them, weighed them, and
exchanged them. How did He combine them? Two stones build two houses. Three
stones build six houses. Four stones build twenty-four houses. Five stones build
one hundred twenty houses. Six stones build seven hundred twenty houses. Seven
stones build five thousand forty houses. Thenceforth, go out and calculate what
the mouth is unable to say and what the ear is unable to hear. from Sefer Yetzirah chapter III
