If you are asking about the first sin committed in Les Miserables, then you must mean Jean Valjean stealing the loaf of bread.He was living with he sister and all her children after her husband died. The family was hungry and they had not a dime to their name. Jean Valjean then broke a window and took a fresh loaf of bread, the baker saw him and knew who he was. The baker then told the police who arrested Jean Valjean for 5 years and sentenced him to work in the galleys, breaking large rocks. In total, Jean was incarcerated for 19 years, after making several escape attempts. This is considered the original sin, as it sets the whole story up after Jean Valjean is released.
