22:27

وَأَذِّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the adjective عَمِيق at 22:27. Pilgrims come to the sanctuary on foot and on lean mounts from every فَج bearing this description. The travel destination, repeated arrival verb, and all-encompassing routes support an adjective of far extension or remoteness. Because the sole head noun is a mountain pass, Quran-internal usage does not completely decide whether English should foreground route-distance or physical depth. The target is indefinite masculine singular genitive, agreeing with فَجّ. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
