get started until there is a first occurance. And so, the YhR was

Your response sounds logical but there is only one problem with that.
The first sin was bein adam laMakom.
The sin of murder was bein adam l'chaveiro.
So there are two categories of sin here.
Therefore, since murder was the first sin of the second category, your
argument is not as strong.
