Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tois paraptomasin {ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασιν | en toîs paraptṓmasin} locates this death “in the trespasses,” while the coordinated dative phrase kai tē akrobystia tēs sarkos hymōn {καὶ τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν | kaí tēi akrobystíai tês sarkòs hūmôn} adds a second sphere, the “uncircumcision of your flesh,” combining moral failure and covenantal alienation.
Root and etymology

In context — Colossians 2:13
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all the trespasses .
