There are several other Abrahamic faiths other than the main three (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
The Druze believe in reincarnation. They exist mainly in the region of Lebanon and Syria. They accept many people mentioned in the Bible as being prophets, including Jethro the Midianite (Moses' father-in-law), Elijah, John the Baptist and Jesus. They also accept Muhammad (but they are not Muslims). Their founder was Hamza ibn Ali ibn Ahmad in the 11th century. The Druze faith is closed: one can only be Druze if you were born into it, you cannot convert.
The Manichaean faith seems to have believed in reincarnation. The prophet Mani lived in the 3rd century in Persia (Iran). The Manichaean faith mentioned Adam and Eve and the antediluvian prophet Enoch. They give a prominent place to Jesus Christ in their theology, but they also recognised non-Abrahamic religious figures such as Krishna, Buddha and Zoroaster. The Manichaean faith spread rapidly and widely, and was a major competitor with Christianity. Augustine of Hippo converted to Christianity from Manichaeism. It died out in the 13th century. The last remaining Manichaean temple is the Cao'an temple in China.
Some of the esoteric forms of Judaism (the Kabbalah) recognised reincarnation, but it is not a mainstream belief.
Mainstream Christianity rejects reincarnation, as does Islam.

The Bible says that you reap whatever you sow. Whatever you do is done to you. That is the same as karma.
The Bible says you have to be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven.
That is the same as reincarnation.
It is all a matter of interpretation.

I would bet that there are a few.
Religious beliefs don't have to make sense.

no that religion teaches that when you die you return to the dust. Your only hope is a resurrection during judgment day
