Exegesis
The adjective harchokot {הָרְחֹקֹת | hā·re·ḥō·qōṯ} qualified by me’od {מְאֹד | me·’ōd} narrows the scope to very distant locations.
In context — Deuteronomy 20:15
This is how you shall act toward all the cities that are very far from you, which are not among the cities of these nations here.
