was the moment where Tijuskeha, while in the womb, was compliant with natural birth that it shows how obedience was shown as good in contrast to Tawiskarong, who had disagreed with natural birth and killed his mother by bursting out of her side. In Genesis II, God tells Adam that he should not eat from the tree of knowledge and that is the first sin or bad action made when Adam eats from the tree. Unlike The Making of the World myth, good and bad are not separated into two but is determined…

book of Bible; instead of Genesis, the first book of Bible; some argues that the family members of the patriarchs are given no moral rules to respect in the Patriarchal Age.
