20:12

إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكَ فَٱخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

79:16

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

Why this meaning was chosen

All five occurrences were reviewed. Three describe folding the heavens or a scroll; the two occurrences of طُوًى are a sacred-valley name that contradicts the folding sense and are isolated as a lexical collision.
