If you think keeping a bunch of rules makes you holy and righteous with God, you have been deceived just as our Jewish brothers and sisters have been. This rule keeping theology is addressed here in this passage. Is there anything wrong with the rules? No, not when applied in the correct context. The rules are not to become an added burden in life but designed to wake us up to our sin. If you then recognize your sinfull actions before God and trust in His way of cleansing you, through His Son Jesus, then the rule has worked as the tool it was designed for. The rule was given to make us aware of our sin and keep us in the way of salvation until Christ came which fulfilled the promise given 400 years earlier.
