NASB
Num. 15:15 ' As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you
and for the alien who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout
your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before the Lord.
Num. 15:16 'There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for
the alien who sojourns with you.' "

Read Cohen, "Crossing the Boundary and Becoming a Jew." Only Jews
who were by birth of the tribe of Levi performed any sacrifices.
Proselyte's were allowed to bring sacrifices to the temple but in no
way were they viewed as having "blood" inheritance of the Promises.
Proselyte's were always second class citizens. That Gentile did indeed
become proselyte's is no big news. But you have presented nothing
indicating, let alone providing a "proof" for a doctrine which no one
accepts. Again, read Cohen. Learn this from a Jewish perspective, not
with a 20th C. synthetical mind.
The whole purpose of the Mosaic Covenant was to enforce antithetical
thought forms into the nation. Also, the Covenants were not made with
individual's but with the nation of Israel. Read the Exodus passage.
It is with Israel that God calls out of the "nations" and as a nation,
it is Israel with whom He give the Law.
David Daube in, "The NT and Rabbinic Judaism" has pointed out that the
Jewish requirements for proselytes were based upon what Israel had
undergone as a nation at the time of the Exodus. The people were
circumcised, were sanctified and commanded to wash their clothes, and
offered sacrifices. Consequently circumcision, baptism, and the
offering of a sacrifice were essential for the induction of Gentiles
into the congregation of Israel. And since the Exodus culminated in the
giving of the law at Sinai, the proselyte must be put under the yoke of
the law and given instruction in its precepts. But no where was it
taught that the proselyte, 1) remained a "gentile", yet 2) shared in
ALL the Jewish promises.

Ruth, you are confusing the Mosaic Law with the "law of God" which is
nothing more, nothing less, than the will of God. The NC does not have
a direct relation with the MC other than it replaces it.
Heb. 8:13 When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first
obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to
disappear.
The MC is invalidated by Christ' fulfilment.
Heb. 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much
as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted
on better promises.
NEVER was the MC directed at the Gentiles. This stands against the
whole purpose of God in calling Israel out from among the nations.
Antithetical thinking is the only accepted venue.
