In his time
In his time. In his era. By extension: in that period, in the past.
(“Rabban Gamliel had figures of the shapes of the moon in diagrams and on the wall of his upper chamber, and with them he would show the laymen and ask, ‘Was it like this that you saw, or like this?’ An incident occurred when two witnesses came and said… ‘We saw it in its time.’” - Rosh Hashanah 2b)
