I don't know. I can't find anything in the wiki text about how the idea of reincarnation was developed. It is said that Kabbalah is an esoteric mysticism, so perhaps they adopted the teachings from other (non-Jewish) ideas. The teaching itself and how it relates to Judaism isn't clear to me. Thanks for the link for a first impression. (It would be nice if someone had a short, easy-to-understand explanation instead of a link)
